Changqing Li f079ff3732 tools build: Make in-target rule robust against too long argument error
The command length of in-target scales with the depth of the directory
times the number of objects in the Makefile.

When there are many objects, and O=[absolute_path] is set, and the
absolute_path is relatively long.

It is possible that this line "$(call if_changed,$(host)ld_multi)" will
report error: "make[4]: /bin/sh: Argument list too long"

For example, build perf tools with O=/long/output/path

Like built-in.a and *.mod rules in scripts/Makefile.build, add
$(objpredix)/ by the shell command instead of by Make's builtin
function.
