kbuild: fix ld-option function
The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because the command $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" does not create object file! I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact but the results are the same. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done $ ls -la /tmp/1.o ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory We can easily fix the problem by adding the '-x c' compiler option. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o $ ls -la /tmp/1.o -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr 2 20:40 /tmp/1.o Also fix wrong ld-option example.
