 - let git ignore O= directory entirely

 - optimize scripts/kallsyms slightly

 - exclude DWARF info from *.s regardless of config options

 - fix GCC toolchain search path for Clang to prepare ld.lld support

 - do not generate modules.order when CONFIG_MODULES is disabled

 - simplify single target rules and remove VPATH for external module
   build

 - allow to add optional flags to dpkg-buildpackage when building
   deb-pkg

 - move some compiler option tests from Makefile to Kconfig

 - various Makefile cleanups
