Jean Delvare b1e0d8b70f kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Sam Ravnborg aa1e5ef5c1 kbuild: check if we can link gettext not just compile
cygwin provides the header file but the lib file needs
to be added manually. A generic fix is to check if
we can compile and link a program that uses gettext()
and if it fails fall back to NO_NLS.

International users of cygwin may have to specify
HOST_LOADLIBES := "-lintl" on the make command line.
