tools: fix annoying "mkdir -p ..." logs when building tools in parallel
When CONFIG_OBJTOOL=y or CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, parallel builds show awkward "mkdir -p ..." logs. $ make -j16 [ snip ] mkdir -p /home/masahiro/ref/linux/tools/objtool && make O=/home/masahiro/ref/linux subdir=tools/objtool --no-print-directory -C objtool mkdir -p /home/masahiro/ref/linux/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids && make O=/home/masahiro/ref/linux subdir=tools/bpf/resolve_btfids --no-print-directory -C bpf/resolve_btfids Defining MAKEFLAGS=<value> on the command line wipes out command line switches from the resultant MAKEFLAGS definition, even though the command line switches are active. [1] MAKEFLAGS puts all single-letter options into the first word, and that word will be empty if no single-letter options were given. [2] However, this breaks if MAKEFLAGS=<value> is given on the command line. The tools/ and tools/% targets set MAKEFLAGS=<value> on the command line, which breaks the following code in tools/scripts/Makefile.include: short-opts := $(firstword -$(MAKEFLAGS)) If MAKEFLAGS really needs modification, it should be done through the environment variable, as follows: MAKEFLAGS=<value> $(MAKE) ... That said, I question whether modifying MAKEFLAGS is necessary here. The only flag we might want to exclude is --no-print-directory, as the tools build system changes the working directory. However, people might find the "Entering/Leaving directory" logs annoying. I simply removed the offending MAKEFLAGS=<value>.
