Subject: [PATCH v2] build: fix cross compilation to x86_64
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 11:26:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007092637.916513-1-a.schollmeyer@syseleven.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261005125943.678879-1-a.schollmeyer@syseleven.de>
If x86_64 is specified as target CPU instruction set (e.g. when
cross-compiling *to* x86_64), the cpu_instruction_set may be set to
x86_64, e.g. if it is derived from a Meson crossfile. However, while
Meson uses "x86_64" as name for the x86_64 architecture, compiler
options accept only "x86-64".
Introduce a conditional for handling this special case by changing
cpu_instruction_set to the march-compatible value.

v2 changes:
* more explicit comment about GCC/Clang requiring x86-64
* switch to x86-64-v2 feature level
