[patch 2/3] kbuild - remove old LDFLAGS_BLOB from Makefiles - docco update

From: blaisorblade_spam
Date: Mon Aug 30 2004 - 15:08:31 EST



The LDFLAGS_BLOB var (which used to be defined in arch Makefiles) is now unused,
as specified inside usr/initramfs_data.S. So this patch updates the docs to mark
it as unused. You may prefer to drop the entire section about it, however I
wanted to make clear that this is a change from previous doc versions.
