kbuild: simplify ld-option implementation
Currently, linker options are tested by the coordination of $(CC) and
$(LD) because $(LD) needs some object to link.
As commit 86a9df597cdd ("kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when
cross compiling with Clang") addressed, we need to make sure $(CC)
and $(LD) agree the underlying architecture of the passed object.
This could be a bit complex when we combine tools from different groups.
For example, we can use clang for $(CC), but we still need to rely on
GCC toolchain for $(LD).
So, I was searching for a way of standalone testing of linker options.
A trick I found is to use '-v'; this not only prints the version string,
but also tests if the given option is recognized.
If a given option is supported,
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU ld (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11) 2.28.2.20170706
$ echo $?
0
If unsupported,
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.04-20130415 - Linaro GCC 2013.04) 2.23.1
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: unrecognized option '--fix-cortex-a53-843419'
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: use the --help option for usage information
$ echo $?
1
Gold works likewise.
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419
GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14

GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14

LLD too.
$ ld.lld -v --gc-sections
