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.
