I made a v3 - with some small nits.
The idea was to do the "PGO-rebuild" handling a bit easier.
But as you say that can wait.
Some personal notes:
I will be very happy when people verify/confirm what's going on with
PGO-rebuild + LLVM_IAS=1.
As said GNU/AS and PGO-rebuild is fine.
( This seems to be independent of clang-12 or clang-11. )
( This seems to be independent of DWARF v4 or v5 enabled. )
The benefit here I saw was a reduction in build-time of 00:30 seen
from a total 04:30 when using a PGO-rebuilt Linux-kernel.
Approx. 10%?
This is not much compared to a ThinLTO + PGO optimized LLVM toolchain
whcih saved here 40% of build-time.
