[PATCH v2 3/7] kbuild: add ld-name macro

From: samitolvanen@google.com (Sami Tolvanen)
Date: 2017-11-30 23:39:19
Also in: linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

GNU gold may require different flags than GNU ld. Add a macro for
detecting the linker.
