CONFIG_REORDER Kconfig help strange sentence.

OK, this confused me:

Function reordering (REORDER) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?

This option enables the toolchain to reorder functions for a more
optimal TLB usage. If you have pretty much any version of binutils,
this can increase your kernel build time by roughly one minute.

"If you have pretty much any version of binutils"? Huh?

You mean "This will slow your kernel build by about a minute"?

Rusty.
