When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it warns: clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-s' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
The compiler's '-s' flag is a linking option (it is passed along to the linker directly), which means it does nothing when the linker is not invoked by the compiler. The kernel builds all .o files with '-c', which stops the compilation pipeline before linking, so '-s' can be safely dropped from ASFLAGS.
