Subject: [PATCH v2] x86: add support for CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 17:52:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723005203.36715-1-dmukhin@ford.com> (raw)
From: Denis Mukhin <dmukhin@ford.com>
x86 builds with CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF fail as the following:
...
u-boot-elf.o: file not recognized: file format not recognized
...
Fix objcopy/ld parameters for x86 to enable CONFIG_REMAKE_ELF
configurations in both SPL and U-Boot proper builds.
Add a new 'PLATFORM_ELFLDFLAGS' make variable for injecting
proper linker arguments when u-boot.elf is requested.
Signed-off-by: Denis Mukhin <dmukhin@ford.com>
