kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
Subsystems (6)
PATCH v3 1/1 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.

Changes since v2:
* Fix credits. I can't believe I worked with one of my colleagues for a full week on this issue, and credited another one :( Working too much I suppose...

Applied to kbuild.git#rc-fixes. Thanks to everyone involved.
