[1/1] kbuild: Leave objtool binary around with 'make clean' https://git.kernel.org/kbuild/c/fdb12c8a24a45 Please look out for regression or issue reports or other follow up comments, as they may result in the patch/series getting dropped or reverted. Patches applied to an "unstable" branch are accepted pending wider testing in -next and any post-commit review; they will generally be moved to the main branch in a week if no issues are found.
