kbuild: drop support for cc-ldoption
If you want to see if your linker supports a certain flag, then ask the linker directly with ld-option (not the compiler with cc-ldoption). Checking for linker flag support is an antipattern that complicates the usage of various linkers other than bfd via -fuse-ld={bfd|gold|lld}.

- cc-ldoption
- cc-ldoption is used to check if $(CC) when used to link object files
- supports the given option. An optional second option may be
- specified if first option are not supported.
-
- Example:
- #arch/x86/kernel/Makefile
- vsyscall-flags += $(call cc-ldoption, -Wl$(comma)--hash-style=sysv)
-
- In the above example, vsyscall-flags will be assigned the option
- -Wl$(comma)--hash-style=sysv if it is supported by $(CC).
- The second argument is optional, and if supplied will be used
- if first argument is not supported.
