Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kbuild: remove top-level built-in.a
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 12:27:58 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1547436479-10491-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> (raw)

The symbol table in the final archive is unneeded because it is passed
to the linker 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.
