tile: remove unneeded extra-y in Makefile (2017-06-30 09:03:05 +0900)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kbuild thin archives updates for v4.13
Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.
THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature
only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different
intermediate-artifact schemes.
Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has
various advantages:
- save disk space for builds
- speed-up building a little
- fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to
more flexibility for the final linking
- work better with dead code elimination we are planning
As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally
so that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect".
With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now.
