This feature is useful only for debugging stackleak gcc plugin.
The cflag that enables it is similar to -fplugin-arg-structleak_plugin-verbose,
which is used for debugging the structleak plugin.
This debugging feature clutters the kernel build output, I don't think that many
people will use it. So IMO creating a separate argument for make is not really
needed.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Alexander
