Masahiro Yamada 685969e0bd kbuild: remove cc-option test of -ffreestanding
Some Makefiles already pass -ffreestanding unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/lib/Makefile, arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile.

No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -ffreestanding.

I confirmed GCC 4.8 and Clang manuals document this option.

Get rid of cc-option from -ffreestanding.

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 Restructured Text 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.
