5369f55021 kbuild: Print errors to stderr
... at least in the top-level Makefile and scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
There are some more instances of the 'echo <error>; exit 1' pattern in
some arch Makefiles and kconfig.

1347a2cebc Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild
Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek.

Fixed up nontrivial merge conflict in Makefile as per Stephen Rothwell
and linux-next (and trivial arch/sparc/Makefile changes due to removed
sparc32 logic).

00e6c28c68 kbuild: fix ia64 link
ia64 build failed like this:

  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms1.o
ld: .tmp_kallsyms1.o: linking constant-gp files with non-constant-gp files
ld: failed to merge target specific data of file .tmp_kallsyms1.o
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

This was introduced when link of vmlinux was migrated to a script.
Add missing option to as to fix this.

1f2bfbd00e kbuild: link of vmlinux moved to a script
Move the final link of vmlinux to a script to improve
readability and maintainability of the code.

The Makefile fragments used to link vmlinux has over the
years seen far too many changes and the logic had become
hard to follow.

As the process by nature is serialized there was
nothing gained including this in the Makefile.

"um" has special link requirments - and the
only way to handle this was to hard-code the linking
of "um" in the script.
This was better than trying to modularize it only for the
benefit of "um" anyway.

The shell script has been improved after input from:
