Oops, I missed it because
it is defined in scripts/Makefile.host instead of scripts/Kbuild.include


$(call cc-option, ...) is generally used in the top Makefile (or
arch/*/Makefile).


However, scripts/Makefile.host is not included from the top Makefile,
so $(call hostcc-option, ...) is available only under sub-directories.
I guess that is why we had no user of it.

I think the right thing to do
is to remove the former implementation from Makefile.host

Thanks!
