kbuild: Add rules for compiling programs on the host
At a couple of places, we need to build programs which run on the compile host during building the kernel. Add a new variable "host-progs" to declare such programs. Rules.make will automatically provide rules to compile these programs with appropriate command lines etc. Compared to having explicit rules spread around for doing so, this has the following advantages: o shorter o automatically figures out dependencies and handles changing command lines o Nicer output in quiet mode ;-) Compiling host programs from multiple sources is also possible, analogous to multi-part objects. E.g. scripts/Makefile has host-progs := tkparse tkparse-objs := tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o
