  # Building binaries on the host system
  # Binaries are used during the compilation of the kernel, for example
  # to preprocess a data file.
  #
  # Both C and C++ is supported, but preferred language is C for such utilities.
  #
  # Samle syntax (see Documentation/kbuild/makefile.txt for reference)

  # Will compile bin2hex.c and create an executable named bin2hex
  #
  # hostprogs-y    := lxdialog
  # lxdialog-objs := checklist.o lxdialog.o
  # Will compile lxdialog.c and checklist.c, and then link the executable
  # lxdialog, based on checklist.o and lxdialog.o
  #
  # hostprogs-y      := qconf
  # qconf-cxxobjs   := qconf.o

  # They are linked as C++ code to the executable qconf
  
  # hostprogs-y := conf
  # conf-objs  := conf.o libkconfig.so
  # libkconfig-objs := expr.o type.o
  # Will create a shared library named libkconfig.so that consist of
  # expr.o and type.o (they are both compiled as C code and the object file
  # are made as position independent code).
  # conf.c is compiled as a c program, and conf.o is linked together with
  # libkconfig.so as the executable conf.
  # Note: Shared libraries consisting of C++ files are not supported
