I do not see any use-case for the above.

This series adds cases for "foo.so" as a final target.


As an alternative, you can add needed build rules
into tools/gcc/Makefile, not scripts/Makefile.host

I guess these rule won't be used in other places.

Could you use $(call multi-depend, ...)
if you need to handle multi-object please?

Please refer to commit c8589d1e9e01 and commit 97e3226e6e984c8.

But, I still do not see any gcc-plugin that is large enough
to be linked from multiple objects.
