LDFLAGS_vmlinux will only be used to link boot/compressed/vmlinux, whereas KBUILD_LDFLAGS is used for all linker invocations, and in particular the little link to do the modversions stuff ends up using it. So once we move -pie --no-dynamic-linker to the more correct LDFLAGS_vmlinux and/or stop modversions running, we'll be fine. Being able to use -pie with lld is one of the goals of this series. > > I cannot test as I modified my local Git and re-invoking my > build-script is doing a whole new build-dance. > > - Sedat -
