I received it because you cced me.

But I am afraid it did not reach the kbuild ML
because I could not find it in the kbuild ML archive.

I recommend to subscribe to the ML and then
resend your patch.

To subscribe to it, visit the following and click 'subscribe'
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kbuild

The kbuild ML does not have much volume.
I guess you won't be annoyed.

To attract the attention of key persons, I'd like to suggest:

- add 'kbuild: ' prefix to the subject like:

kbuild: default to cc/c++ for host compiler

- you can cc linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org too.
(scripts/get_maintainer.pl will do it automatically.
But I am not sure if it can be reached from unsubscribers.
this ML has a huge volume..)

Best Regards
