GCC 8 added this flag.
So, it will be eventually all solved in the GCC world.

Clang has not supported it yet...


Trimming absolute path at run-time
is no help for reducing the kernel image.

Turning __FILE__ into a relative path at compile-time is better.


I hope Clang people will consider to support it.
I guess implementing this feature should not be so hard.
