--- 3.7 Compilation flags
ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y
The three flags listed above applies only to the kbuild makefile
where they are assigned. They are used for all the normal
cc, as and ld invocation happenign during a recursive build.
The three flags listed above apply only to the kbuild makefile where
they are assigned (i.e., per-directory). They are used for all the
normal cc, as and ld invocation happening during a recursive build.
Note: Flags with the same behaviour were previously named:
EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
They are yet supported but their use are deprecated.

ccflags-y specifies options for compiling C files with $(CC).
ccflags-y specifies options for compiling with $(CC).
Example:
# drivers/sound/emu10k1/Makefile
ccflags-y += -I$(obj)
ccflags-$(DEBUG) += -DEMU10K1_DEBUG
# drivers/acpi/Makefile
ccflags-y := -Os
ccflags-$(CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG) += -DACPI_DEBUG_OUTPUT
This variable is necessary because the top Makefile owns the
variable $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) and uses it for compilation flags for the
entire tree.
asflags-y is a similar string for per-directory options
when compiling assembly language source.
asflags-y specifies options for assembling with $(AS).
Example:
#arch/x86_64/kernel/Makefile
asflags-y := -traditional
#arch/sparc/kernel/Makefile
asflags-y := -ansi
ldflags-y is a string for per-directory options to $(LD).
ldflags-y specifies options for linking with $(LD).
Example:
#arch/m68k/fpsp040/Makefile
ldflags-y := -x
#arch/cris/boot/compressed/Makefile
ldflags-y += -T $(srctree)/$(src)/decompress_$(arch-y).lds
subdir-ccflags-y, subdir-asflags-y
The two flags listed above are similar to ccflags-y and as-falgs-y.
The difference is that the subdir- variants has effect for the kbuild
file where tey are present and all subdirectories.
Options specified using subdir-* are added to the commandline before
the options specified using the non-subdir variants.
