Disable sibling call optimization based on binutils version. This is to work around a bug in the assember in binutils versions < 2.22. Branches to weak symbols can be incorrectly optimized in thumb mode to a short branch (b.n instruction) that won't reach when the symbol gets preempted.

This seems a bit longer than needed. Just check that it's y once and do both things. Also, I _think_ we should be able to squish this down to: ifeq ($(CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD),y) GAS_BUG_12532 := $(shell if [ $(call binutils-version) -lt 0222 ] ; \ then echo y; else echo n; fi) ifeq ($(GAS_BUG_125320),y) $(warning ...) $(warning ...)

But I haven't tested it.

I wrote it the way I did because I only want the expensive shell/binutils-version to get evaluated once per "make". I think what you proposed would cause it to get re-evaluated every time the build goes down into a subdir.

It should still get evaluated once, I think. Kluding the binutils-version script to echo 1 >> /tmp/test every time it's run would tell tho for sure :)

I tried it out, it's obvious from the $(warning) it's getting reevaluated:

It makes sense since unless GAS_BUG_125320 is "export"ed to the new make, it's going to be unset again each the build starts a new "make -C"
