charset="UTF-8" In Makefile.config, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LIBLLVM, and EXTLIBS were assigned using recursive expansion or appended with raw $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) ...) calls. Because these variables were expanded during dependency evaluation across every single object file compilation rule, Kbuild continuously re-executed llvm-config forks nearly 200 times during incremental builds. Convert llvm-config shell queries to simply expanded variables (:=) to ensure Make evaluates LLVM compiler flags and library paths exactly once when Makefile.config is parsed, eliminating ~185 redundant sub-processes during build startup.
