The patch titled kbuild: check if linker supports the -X option has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kbuild-check-if-linker-supports-the-x-option.patch This patch was dropped because it is obsolete The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kbuild: check if linker supports the -X option From: Andi Kleen <andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The new alternative `gold' linker in recent binutils doesn't support the -X option. This breaks allyesconfig builds that have CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS enabled. Check if the linker really supports the option using ld-option.
