kbuild: fix ld-option function 

The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because
the command
  $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO"
does not create object file!

I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler
and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact
but the results are the same.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory

We can easily fix the problem by adding
the '-x c' compiler option.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr  2 20:40 /tmp/1.o

Also fix wrong ld-option example.
