Currently, arg-check is implemented as follows:
arg-check = $(strip $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)), $(cmd_$@)) \
$(filter-out $(cmd_$@), $(cmd_$(1))) )
This does not care about the order of arguments that appear in
$(cmd_$(1)) and $(cmd_$@). So, if_changed and friends never rebuild
the target if only the argument order is changed. This is a problem
when the link order is changed.
Apparently,
obj-y += foo.o
obj-y += bar.o
and
obj-y += bar.o
obj-y += foo.o
should be distinguished because the link order determines the probe
order of drivers. So, built-in.o should be rebuilt if the order of
objects is changed.
This commit fixes arg-check to compare two strings as a whole.
$(strip ...) is important because we want to ignore the difference
that comes from white-spaces.
