Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kbuild: handle excessively long argument lists
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 17:18:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1610500731-30960-2-git-send-email-jjohnson@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1610500731-30960-1-git-send-email-jjohnson@codeaurora.org>

From: Mahesh Kumar Kalikot Veetil <mkalikot@codeaurora.org>

Modules with a large number of compilation units may be
exceeding AR and LD command argument list. Handle this gracefully by
writing the long argument list in a file. The command line options
read from file are inserted in place of the original @file option.

The usage is well documented at
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/File-Function.html
