Subject: [PATCH 06/14] x86: add a Kconfig symbol for when relocations are needed
Date: Thu, 7 May 2009 15:26:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241735222-6640-7-git-send-email-hpa@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241735222-6640-1-git-send-email-hpa@linux.intel.com>
From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
We only need to build relocations when we are building a 32-bit
relocatable kernel. Rather than unnecessarily complicating the
Makefiles, make an explicit Kbuild symbol for this.
[ Impact: permits future cleanup ]
