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>.
