This option is GNU extension, but it should not > hurt to use it in the Linux build system. > > The 'S' flag is needed to exclude symlinks from the path fixup. > Without it, symlinks in the kernel are broken. > > Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- Applied to linux-kbuild. -- 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
