Subject: [PATCH v2 03/10] kbuild: allow architectures to override CC_CAN_LINK
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:05:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014-kbuild-userprogs-bits-v2-3-faeec46e887a@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251014-kbuild-userprogs-bits-v2-0-faeec46e887a@linutronix.de>

The generic test for CC_CAN_LINK assumes that all architectures use -m32
and -m64 to switch between 32-bit and 64-bit compilation. This is overly
simplistic. Architectures may use other flags (-mabi, -m31, etc.) or may
also require byte order handling (-mlittle-endian, -EL). Expressing all
of the different possibilities will be very complicated and brittle.
Instead allow architectures to supply their own logic which will be
easy to understand and evolve.

Both the boolean ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK and the string ARCH_USERFLAGS need
to be implemented as kconfig does not allow the reuse of string options.
