I think this design is nice overall but some commands have a scapability issue. The build command of built-in.a is one of them whose length scales with: O(D * N) Here, D is the length of the directory path (i.e. $(obj)/ prefix), N is the number of objects in the Makefile, O() is the big O notation. The deeper directory the Makefile directory is located, the more easily it will hit the too long argument error. We can make it better. Trim the $(obj)/ by Make's builtin function, and restore it by a shell command (sed). With this, the command length scales with: O(D + N) In-tree modules still have some room to the limit (ARG_MAX=2097152), but this is more future-proof for big modules in a deep directory. For example, you can build i915 as builtin (CONFIG_DRM_I915=y) and compare drivers/gpu/drm/i915/.built-in.a.cmd with/without this commit.
