ld-option is only used for arch/{arm64,powerpc}/Makefile

arch/arm64/Makefile: ifeq ($(call ld-option, --fix-cortex-a53-843419),)
arch/powerpc/Makefile:LDFLAGS_vmlinux += $(call
ld-option,--orphan-handling=warn)



I think this patch makes sense when it comes along with
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10030581/

but, it is now being blocked by 0-day bot
due to a x86 problem.

But, ld-option is defines as follows in llvm-linux tree (and mainline too):

ld-option = $(call try-run,\
$(CC) -x c /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" ; $(LD) $(1) "$$TMPO" -o
"$$TMP",$(1),$(2))


ld-option does not depend on any pre-defined flags.


The location of CLANG_GCC_TC define
only matters after your patch is applied, right?

Did my request for v2 break anything?


One more thing: this patch does not apply to kbuild tree.
