Before:

  LD      .../linux/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids-in.o
  LINK     resolve_btfids
  CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz

After:

  LD      .../linux/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids-in.o
  LINK    resolve_btfids
  CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz

The line starting with "LINK" has the filename "resolve_btfids" one
space character more to the right than the other lines.

It's slightly confusing when scanning the build logs.
