The right fix would be to fix some unfortunate breakage in kbuild.
The value of _cpp_flags is only used for preprocessing linker scripts,
but should be used for as and gcc too.
A small analysis:
Today we have different ways to set preprocessor flags.
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS - set in top-level Makefile + arch MAkefile
used by all of cpp, as, gcc
EXTRA_CPPFLAGS - not used at all and can be deleted
cppflags-y - set in Kbuild files
- only used when preprocessing linker scripts
CPPFLAGS_<target> - used for linker scripts in many places
It looks like the following untested patch should fix it.
With this patch we have SYMBOL_PREFIX defined when
building assembler files too.
The patch fix it so flags used for preprocessing is also applied
to as and gcc.
@Michal - do you follow my rationale and do you agree?
Another way to fix this would be to fix asm-generic/vmlinx.lds.h
to check for CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX direct.
I cannot see why we require the SYMBOL_PREFIX definition.
See patch number two below for my take on it.
This is my preferred way to deal with this.
The cppflags fix can wait a little.
