Linus Torvalds 98ced886dd Kbuild thin archives updates for v4.13
Thin archives migration by Nicholas Piggin.
 
 THIN_ARCHIVES has been available for a while as an optional feature
 only for PowerPC architecture, but we do not need two different
 intermediate-artifact schemes.
 
 Using thin archives instead of conventional incremental linking has
 various advantages:
  - save disk space for builds
  - speed-up building a little
  - fix some link issues (for example, allyesconfig on ARM) due to
    more flexibility for the final linking
  - work better with dead code elimination we are planning
 
 As discussed before, this migration has been done unconditionally
 so that any problems caused by this will show up with "git bisect".
 
 With testing with 0-day and linux-next, some architectures actually
 showed up problems, but they were trivial and all fixed now.
