Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - do not generate unneeded top-level built-in.a

 - let git ignore O= directory entirely

 - optimize scripts/kallsyms slightly

 - exclude DWARF info from *.s regardless of config options

 - fix GCC toolchain search path for Clang to prepare ld.lld support

 - do not generate modules.order when CONFIG_MODULES is disabled

 - simplify single target rules and remove VPATH for external module
   build

 - allow to add optional flags to dpkg-buildpackage when building
   deb-pkg

 - move some compiler option tests from Makefile to Kconfig

 - various Makefile cleanups
