The Makefile open-codes compiler invocations that ../lib.mk already
provides.
Avoid this by using a Make feature that allows setting per-target
variables, which in this case are: CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. This approach
generates the exact same compiler invocations as before, but removes all
of the code duplication, along with the quirky mangled variable names.
So now the Makefile is smaller, less unusual, and easier to read.
The new dependencies are listed after including lib.mk, in order to
let lib.mk provide the first target ("all:"), and are grouped together
with their respective source file dependencies, for visual clarity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
