the config.mk looks weird: +cmd_link_o_target = $(if $(strip $1),\

The ar part is needed when there are no objets to link, as ld cannot create an empty object out of nothing. The rm part is to make sure that the target is not a leftover object from a previous build (ar would complain).
if you're going to copy from linux, you should move over relevant comments: # If the list of objects to link is empty, just create an empty built-in.o
I will include this comment in the next version of the patch.
I was wondering whether config.mk is the right place for this function; would it be better in rules.mk instead? Both config.mk and rules.mk end up being included in all Makefile's.
