From dee9495303f2c6d63a20c43a26420765909898eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 09:10:03 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove top-level built-in.a The symbol table in the final archive is unneeded; the linker does not require the symbol table after the --whole-archive option. Every object file in the archive is included in the link anyway. Pass thin archives from subdirectories directly to the linker, and remove the final archiving step. Fix up the document and comments as well.
