Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] kvm-unit-tests: Fix x86_64 to use host compiler
Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 16:42:40 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161025054240.10957-1-cyrilbur@gmail.com> (raw)
kvm-unit-tests requires a multilib compiler for x86_64 as it compiles
32bit boot code.
This patch uses the BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER option to enforce
this and avoids using TARGET_CROSS for x86_64 targets and uses the host
32bit (and 64bit) capable compiler.
Signed-off-by: Cyril Bur <cyrilbur@gmail.com>

Patch was sent as an RFC initally with the note:
Should be able to be merged as is but I hope the RFC might attract
more eyes as this has me in an x86 caveat world that I'm utterly
unfamilair with.
With this patch my Power build machine fails to build kvm-unit-tests
for x86_64 (expected, I see the message about
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER) and has no problems building for
ARM. My x86_64 build machine can build for x86_64 and still build
other architectures.
It has been over three weeks and no comments, I believe it would fix
the repeated build breakage of kvm-unit-tests x86_64
