The linker script is processed by C-preprocessor.
It means the dependency of included files should be tracked
to decide if the linker script should be updated or not.
This is the same as the rule of generationg objects.
( *.c -> *.o or *.S -> *.o)
$(call filechk ) does not do this dependency tracking
and always runs the preprocessor.
The why it looks weird to me.
Best Regards
