[PATCH 2/3] arm64: add endianness option to LDFLAGS instead of LD

With the recent syntax extension, Kconfig is now able to evaluate the
compiler / toolchain capability.

However, accumulating flags to 'LD' is not compatible with the way
it works; 'LD' must be passed to Kconfig to call $(ld-option,...)
from Kconfig files.  If you tweak 'LD' in arch Makefile depending on
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, this would end up with circular dependency
between Makefile and Kconfig.

But note that this will conflict with:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2018-July/587726.html

Catalin -- I'm assuming you're taking both of these and will resolve the
conflict in the arm64 for-next/fixes branch.

Cheers,

Will
