Fix compile error
$ ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux-gnu- make
...
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-m64"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mno-red-zone"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mcmodel=kernel"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-maccumulate-outgoing-args"
The error was introduced by patch
kbuild-fix-config_cross_compile-issue-in-config.patch:
-CROSS_COMPILE ?= $(CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE:"%"=%)
+CROSS_COMPILE := $(shell grep CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE .config | cut -d'"' -f2)
That patch does two things:
1) It grep for CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE because we may not have incldued .config
2) It no longer pick up CROSS_COMPILE from the environment.
Traditionally we have picked up ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE from the environment,
hence the use of "?=".
"?=" says - perform this assignment unless lhs is already defined.
And lhs may be already defined is we have the symbol defined in the
environment.
I think the original submitter changed from ?= to := without realizing this.
So the patch should be adjusted to use ?= again before it is applied.
