$(call cc-option,...) is costly because it invokes the C compiler.
Given that only some targets need compiler flags, it is pointless
to compute them all the time.
The variable no-dot-config-targets lists the targets we can run
without the .config file, such as "make clean", "make help", etc.
My idea is similar here. We can add no-compiler-targets to list the
targets we can run without the target compiler information. This
includes no-dot-config-targets + config targets + misc.
When we run only targets listed in the no-compiler-targets, we can
set cc-option and friends to no-op. The hostcc-option is an exception
since the host compiler is needed for building fixdep, kconfig, etc.
I did not add "dtbs" and "%.dtb" to no-compiler-targets. This is
intentional. Theoretically, we can build device tree blobs without
the C compiler. It it true that in-kernel DT files are pre-processed
by CPP before DTC, but KBUILD_CPPFLAGS is unused. However, for the
reason of scripts/dtc/ location, Kbuild descends into scripts/mod/
before the DT build. I do not want to trigger the unrelated re-build
of modpost when building DT. Perhaps, we can fix this with further
refactoring, but not now.
