Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt lists variables used in Makefile whereas Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt describes user assignable parameters given via environments or the command line. LDFLAGS_MODULE is a command line interface, so it should be dropped from makefiles.txt. Some lines below in this file, it is clearly explained that KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE is the right one for the internal use: KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE Options for $(LD) when linking modules $(KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE) is used to add arch-specific options used when linking modules. This is often a linker script. From commandline LDFLAGS_MODULE shall be used (see kbuild.txt). Then, kbuild.txt explains LDFLAGS_MODULE, like follows: LDFLAGS_MODULE -------------------------------------------------- Additional options used for $(LD) when linking modules.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
