Why do you need to change this line?

Thanks for explaining how stupidly this works.
NACK.


I guess re-using the current clang-lto rule is much cleaner.
(but please rename %.lto.o to %.prelink.o)


Roughly like this:


if CONFIG_LTO_CLANG || CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT

$(obj)/%.prelink: $(obj)/%.o FORCE
[ $(LD) if CONFIG_LTO_CLANG ] + $(cmd_objtool)

endif
