I gave it a quick try. This is first try and comments are welcome.
It does not address the um issue - but I think that is doable
with an additional enviroment variable.
The conditionals around KALLSYMS may be simplified - I just did
not try to do so.
What I like with the patch below is that it is 100 times more
readable than the Makefile stuff.
The drawback are that we either link or not - we cannot restart
from the middle of the link. But that it not a real issue.
This patch futhermore remove a debug target to assist in
kallysms issues - I have not seen it used for a long time
now. And I was also considering removing the extra kallsyms
pass as I dunnot how usefull it is and for an allyesconfig
build it take too much time.
This patch includes your version simplifactions too allthough
that is not obvious.
