-               #arch/x86/kernel/Makefile
-               vsyscall-flags += $(call cc-ldoption, -Wl$(comma)--hash-style=sysv)
-
-       In the above example, vsyscall-flags will be assigned the option
-       -Wl$(comma)--hash-style=sysv if it is supported by $(CC).
-       The second argument is optional, and if supplied will be used
-       if first argument is not supported.
