 --- 3.7 Compilation flags

        This variable is necessary because the top Makefile owns the
        variable $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) and uses it for compilation flags for the
        entire tree.

-       when compiling assembly language source.
+       asflags-y specifies options for assembling with $(AS).

+               #arch/sparc/kernel/Makefile

-       ldflags-y is a string for per-directory options to $(LD).
+       ldflags-y specifies options for linking with $(LD).

     subdir-ccflags-y, subdir-asflags-y
-       The two flags listed above are similar to ccflags-y and as-falgs-y.
-       The difference is that the subdir- variants has effect for the kbuild
-       file where tey are present and all subdirectories.
-       Options specified using subdir-* are added to the commandline before
-       the options specified using the non-subdir variants.
