The 5.x kernels seem to have made a change to the linker command line
processing.
When trying to build out of tree kernel modules, such as the
virtualbox guest additions, the following error is printed:
| make[1]: Entering directory

The AR arguments passed to the make command are being processed as
command line arguments to the linker due to some changes in the
kernel's Makefile. For now the easiest fix is to just swap the
arguments in the module.bbclass.
