Subject: [PATCH v8 2/3] kbuild: change --thin back to 'T' in $(AR)
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 17:19:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260330171920.2026779-3-xur@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260330171920.2026779-1-xur@google.com>
From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>
The '-T' flag in $(AR) is no longer problematic since the minimum
requirement for LLVM has been updated to version 15. As of LLVM 14
and onward, the '-T' flag functions identically to the '--thin' flag.
Fixed the issue seen on IBM Power11 System:
ar: unrecognized option '--thin'
Reported-by: Venkat Rao Bagalkote <venkat88@linux.ibm.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-next/476507c9-a371-4864-9e87-572c1ecae82d@linux.ibm.com/
