Subject: [RFC] move link of vmlinux to a script
The part of the top-level Makefile that links the
final vmlinux has accumulated a lot of cruft over
times and the makefile code is unreadable for
any normal human.
This is an attempt to clean up the situation, by
moving all the logic to a shell script.
In reality we almost never rely on the Makefile
logic to avoid a few steps in the link - and
the process is serialized in any case.
So the drawbacks by moving this to a shell script
are small compared to the added readability.
Known issues:
- sparc32 is broken by this. I will address the
sparc32 bits before I do any final submission.
All the link magic is moved to a shell script:
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh
To do so a few varialbles had to be exported
form the top-level Makefile.
"um" has a local definition of the linker
macro. I found no better way than to hardcode this
in the script. It looks ugly - and alternatives are
welcome!
If you apply the patch you can use:
make V=L (capital L)
to debug the script.
The default is the non-verbose output.
My shell script foo is limited, so expect to
find something sub-optimal in the script.
