When I found the C version of recordmcount tried to cope with the
files under arch/mips/boot/compressed/, I felt a little nervous and
tried to fix it ;-)

ok, will remove it.

Just checked the scripts/Makefile.lib and found c_flags:

106 _c_flags       = $(filter-out $(CFLAGS_REMOVE_$(basetarget).o),
$(orig_c_flags))

And after used it instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS, it works well. Here is the
testing result:

1. The normal files with -pg

$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu- -j5 init/main.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  Checking missing-syscalls for N32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  Checking missing-syscalls for O32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC      init/main.o
****printed by scripts/recordmcount.c: main

2. the files with CONFIG_REMOVE_file.o = -pg

$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu- -j5
arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  Checking missing-syscalls for N32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  Checking missing-syscalls for O32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC      arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.o

3. the files with obvious filter of -pg

$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu- -j5
arch/mips/boot/compressed/dbg.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  Checking missing-syscalls for N32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  Checking missing-syscalls for O32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC      arch/mips/boot/compressed/dbg.o

$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu- -j5
kernel/trace/ftrace.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  Checking missing-syscalls for N32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  Checking missing-syscalls for O32
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC      kernel/trace/ftrace.o

Yeah, this removed the duplicated findstring, will fix the typo and apply it.
