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.

Towards the goal of removing cc-ldoption, it seems that --hash-style= was added to binutils 2.17.50.0.2 in 2006. The minimal required version of binutils for the kernel according to Documentation/process/changes.rst is 2.20. --build-id was added in 2.18 according to binutils-gdb/ld/NEWS.
