Subject: [PATCH v3 20/21] klp-build: Support cross-compilation
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 20:33:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8e19a330a899520434cc83f7ccc434c83101ac3c.1778642121.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Add support for cross-compilation. The user must export ARCH, and
either CROSS_COMPILE or LLVM as needed.
