[PATCH 1/2] Makefile: evaluate LDFLAGS_BUILD_ID only once

2016-06-27 Thread Rabin Vincent
Evaluate LDFLAGS_BUILD_ID (which involves invoking the compiler) only
once instead of over and over.

This provides a 20% reduction in null build time with x86 allnoconfig on
my machine:

$ make -j8 && perf stat -r5 make -j8
Before: 1,086617617 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0,37% )
 After: 0,864487173 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0,35% )
