But, not perfectly.

This patch fixed the linker part, but the same issue is remaining in cmd_mod.

The following patch is an easy fix-up.



diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.build b/scripts/Makefile.build
index f6a506318795..468f9e646370 100644
--- a/scripts/Makefile.build
+++ b/scripts/Makefile.build
@@ -303,8 +303,8 @@ $(obj)/%.prelink.o: $(obj)/%.o FORCE
$(call if_changed,cc_prelink_modules)
endif

-cmd_mod = echo $(addprefix $(obj)/, $(call real-search, $*.o, .o,
-objs -y -m)) | \
- $(AWK) -v RS='( |\n)' '!x[$$0]++' > $@
+cmd_mod = echo $(call real-search, $*.o, .o, -objs -y -m) | \
+ $(AWK) -v RS='( |\n)' '!x[$$0]++ { print("$(obj)/"$$0) }' > $@

$(obj)/%.mod: FORCE
$(call if_changed,mod)




But, please do not submit a patch yet.


This patch series is just preparation for yet another
bigger clean-up.

One of my big goals is to clean up Clang LTO builds.

Clang LTO made Kbuild really ugly.

I am re-implementing various parts, but I have not
completed the work yet.

Meanwhile, I incrementally submit prerequisite
refactoring patches.

The issues of external module builds _might_ be fixed
as a side-effect of other refactoring, but I am more
interested in what the final code will look like.
