[PATCH 1/7] [HACK] lto: make config.gz symbol visible
From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Feb 02 2018 - 11:17:11 EST
building with LTO enabled, I often get warnings about kernel/configs.c
being empty when CONFIG_IKCONFIG is disabled:
x86_64-linux/bin/nm: kernel/configs.o: no symbols
Making the symbol visible is probably not the right solution, but
it does get rid of the warning.
