Subject: [PATCH bpf] selftests/bpf: Fix pkg-config call on static builds
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 12:39:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <abADBwn_ykblpABE@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
For commit b0dcdcb9ae75 ("resolve_btfids: Fix linker flags detection"),
I suggested setting HOSTPKG_CONFIG to $PKG_CONFIG when compiling
resolve_btfids, but I forgot the quotes around that variable.
As a result, when running vmtest.sh with static linking, it fails as
follows:
$ LDLIBS=-static PKG_CONFIG='pkg-config --static' ./vmtest.sh
[...]
make: unrecognized option '--static'
Usage: make [options] [target] ...
[...]
This worked when I tested it because HOSTPKG_CONFIG didn't have a
default value in the resolve_btfids Makefile, but once it does, the
quotes aren't preserved and it fails on the next make call.
Fixes: b0dcdcb9ae75 ("resolve_btfids: Fix linker flags detection")
