To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to
distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional
config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y'
or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in
obj-Y.

Alek reported that on Ubuntu, where dash is used, 'echo -e'
can't work, so let's use non-builtin echo in this case.

The arch/*/boot/Makefile use cc-options to check for GCC command options
and cc-options use the hardened specs when checking for GCC command
options.  When -fPIE is pass to cc1 it can't use -ffreestanding or
-fno-toplevel-reorder.  Then it fail to build stuff with -ffreestanding
and -fno-toplevel-reorder.

Thanks to Fredric Johansson for finding the main problem behind a failed
build using a hardened toolchain.

ld-option is used to check if $(LD) supports a specific option.

Based on patch from Andi Kleen.

First use is to check if option -X is supported (upcoming patch).

ld-option is misnamed as it test options to gcc, not to ld.
Renamed it to reflect this.

Convert a few echos in the build system to new $(kecho) so we get correct
output according to build verbosity.

There is a bunch of places in the build system where we do 'echo' to show
some nice status lines.  This means we still get output when running in
silent mode.  So declare a new KECHO variable that only does 'echo' when we
are in a suitable verbose build mode.

When adding extra -I options with O=... we could
end up in a situation where there were no parameters to -I.
So we had a commandline that looked like this:

    ... -I -Wall ...

This had the undesired side effect that gcc assumed "-Wall"
was a path to look for include files so this options was
effectively ignored.

This happens only when we build the generated module.mod.c files
as part of the final modules builds and is as such harmless
with current kbuild.
This bug was exposed when we rearranged the options to gcc.

Use -c instead of -S in cc-option and cc-option-yn, so we can probe
options related to the assembler.

Fix it by explicitly cover this case too.
