Subject: [BOOT-WRAPPER 3/3] configure: allow the use of bare-metal toolchains
Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2024 15:31:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240729143116.1804615-4-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240729143116.1804615-1-mark.rutland@arm.com>

Currently it is not possible to build the boot-wrapper with a bare-metal
toolchain, as the configure script tries to build a hosted object. For
example, trying to build with the bare-metal aarch64-linux GCC 13.2.0
toolchain from kernel.org fails with:

| [mark@lakrids:~/src/boot-wrapper-aarch64]% usekorg 13.2.0 ./configure --enable-gicv3 --host=aarch64-linux   --with-kernel-dir=../linux --with-cmdline="console=ttyAMA0 earlycon=pl011,0x1c090000 root=/dev/vda kvm_arm.mode=vhe"
| checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
| checking whether build environment is sane... yes
| checking for aarch64-linux-strip... aarch64-linux-strip
| checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
| checking for gawk... gawk
| checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
| checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
| checking whether DTB file exists... yes
| checking whether kernel image exists... yes
| checking for aarch64-linux-gcc... aarch64-linux-gcc
| checking whether the C compiler works... no
| configure: error: in `/home/mark/src/boot-wrapper-aarch64':
| configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
| See `config.log' for more details

This behaviour was an unintentional side-effect of moving to autotools
in commit:

  bae4ae6a834cd15b ("Add autotools configuration.")

... as the default CFLAGS end up trying to build a hosted object.

Pass the necessary CFLAGS to build a bare-metal object. matching what we
do in Makefile.am, so that the configure script doesn't reject
bare-metal toolchains.
