[BUG] need to export variables in config.mak

[BUG] need to export variables in config.mak

[Chris Friesen]

We've been playing a bit with kvm-kmod-3.0b.  We use a cross compile environment, and one of my coworkers noticed that the variables in config.mak weren't actually exported and so didn't actually have any effect.

I think something like the following patch is required.

Thanks,
Chris Friesen

If you can confirm that they have the right effect and put a signed-off
+ description to the patch, I'll merge it.

[PATCH] need to export variables in config.mak

[Chris Friesen]

The variables being written to config.mak by configure
need to be exported in order to take effect when building
the package.

The following patch fixes this in our environment.

Thanks, merged. I just dropped the export from those variables that are
kvm-kmod-only.

Please elaborate on "no effect", and what actual problems you are
experiencing.  I do cross-compilation builds all the time and have
no such problems.

You cross-compile kvm-kmod?

The behaviour I see is that I configure with --cross-prefix=<prefix> 
then the appropriate prefix gets set in config.mak.  However, when 
running "make" the prefix doesn't actually get used.

If building for the same target as the host machine this isn't 
immediately obvious because it uses the host compiler.  However, if you 
run "make V=1" it will show which compiler is being used.
