[PATCH V2] kbuild: add %/built-in.o target in top Makefile

From: Wei Yang
Date: Sun Nov 06 2016 - 17:34:10 EST


Current kbuild just supports building built-in.o in second directory level
individually. There is no rule to build those built-in.o targets below
third directory level.

Even current kbuild system could achieve this with rule "%/", while this
not only builds built-in targes but also lib target, extra target and
module objects.

This patch adds the "%/built-in.o" rule so that each built-in.o in the
kernel tree could be the build target, which looks more consistent for the
kbuild system.
