The fixdep binary is being compiled and linked in one step since commit ea974028a049 ("tools build: Avoid circular .fixdep-in.o.cmd issues"). While the host linker flags are passed to the compiler the host compiler flags are missed. That might lead to failures as result of the compiler vs linker flags inconsistency. For example, during RPM package build redhat-hardened-ld script is provided to gcc, while redhat-hardened-cc1 script is missed. That leads to an error on s390: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccUT8Rdm.o: `stderr@@GLIBC_2.2' non-PLT reloc for symbol defined in shared library and accessed from executable (rebuild file with -fPIC ?) Provide both KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS and KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS to avoid that.
