The top level Makefile (and arch/*/Makefile) is getting huge. Parsing the whole Makefile everytime means, it computes variables that may or may not be used.
$(call cc-option,...) is a bit costly, but other parts are unnoticeable in terms of performance.
I am addressing the use of $(error ...) / $(warning ...) in the non-recipe context since they could break the build for false positive reasons.
