Subject: [PATCH] ARM64: build vdso without libgcov
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:37:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8988881.1vH1oNjPUl@wuerfel> (raw)
On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be
available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV
enabled then results in a build error:
/home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov
We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so
this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as
we do for most other architectures.
