I do not have a strong opinion. Either way sounds OK to me. If you like, I can fix it up. I think you mentioned LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is under way for ARM and x86. If we can switch all architectures, lib.a will turn into built-in.o. Correct? (I am not sure how difficult the global conversion is.) BTW, I saw abuse of lib.a in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9768439/ I see it in linux-next. commit 06e226c7fb233f676b01b144d0b321ebe510fdcd Author: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 2 15:30:06 2017 -0700 clk: sunxi-ng: Move all clock types to a library Now drivers/clk/sunxi-ng/lib.a will go into thin archives. The result might be different from what they expect... -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
