A kernel compiler does not necessarily contain a libc which is required for a normal userspace application. However the kernel tree does contain a minimal libc implementation "nolibc" which can be used to build userspace applications. Introduce support to build userprogs against nolibc instead of the default libc of the compiler, which may not exist. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh --- This could probably be moved out of the generic kbuild makefiles. I think the ergonimics would suffer and this functionality could be used by other users of userprogs. Also this does currently not support out-of-tree builds. For that tools/include/nolibc/*.h and usr/include/*.h would need to be installed into the build directory. --- Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst | 13 +++++++++++++ scripts/Makefile.userprogs | 13 ++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst b/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst index 8aef3650c1f32b6b197e0dc777e26775d371a081..4cc7a1b89f1803857a4723284613111e9ad71d92 100644 --- a/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst +++ b/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst @@ -974,6 +974,19 @@ When linking bpfilter_umh, it will be passed the extra option -static.
