Subject: [PATCH v5 05/15] init: add nolibc build support
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 10:48:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250717-kunit-kselftests-v5-5-442b711cde2e@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250717-kunit-kselftests-v5-0-442b711cde2e@linutronix.de>
Building userspace applications through the kbuild "userprogs" framework
requires a libc. Kernel toolchains often do not contain a libc.
In this case it is useful to use the nolibc library from the kernel tree.
Nolibc does not support all architectures and requires compiler flags.
Add a kconfig option, so users can know where it is available and provide a
variable for common options.
