Modules with a large number of compilation units may be
exceeding AR and LD command argument list. Handle this gracefully by
writing the long argument list in a file. The command line options
read from file are inserted in place of the original @file option.

The usage is well documented at
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/File-Function.html

Was this build tested?

$ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 -j72 defconfig
scripts/Makefile.build:432: *** extraneous 'endif'.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:535: scripts_basic] Error 2

(Please cc me on v2)

blush

It was tested on a workspace that also contains the Clang LTO series
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/patch/20201211184633.3213045-3-samitolvanen@google.com/

I messed up when trimming, will update in v2
