Subject: [PATCH 6/7] powerpc: switch to using thin archives if COMPILE_TEST is set
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 14:15:59 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161019031600.17933-7-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161019031600.17933-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

Enable thin archives build for powerpc when COMPILE_TEST is set.
Thin archives are explained in this commit:

  a5967db9af51a84f5e181600954714a9e4c69f1f

This is a gradual way to introduce the option to testers.

Some change to the way we invoke ar is required so it can be used
by scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
