When passing compiler variables like CC=$(HOSTCC) to a submake we must ensure the variable is quoted in order to handle cases where $(HOSTCC) may be multiple binaries. For example when using ccache $HOSTCC may be: "/usr/bin/ccache /usr/bin/gcc" If we pass CC without quotes like CC=$(HOSTCC) only the first "/usr/bin/ccache" part will be assigned to the CC variable which will cause an error due to dropping the "/usr/bin/gcc" part of the variable in the submake invocation. This fixes errors such as: /usr/bin/ccache: invalid option -- 'd' Signed-off-by: James Hilliard <james.hilliard1@xxxxxxxxx> --- tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile b/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile index ab20ecc5acce..d40e31bc4c9d 100644 --- a/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile +++ b/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ $(LIBBPF_INTERNAL_HDRS): $(LIBBPF_HDRS_DIR)/%.h: $(BPF_DIR)/%.h | $(LIBBPF_HDRS_ $(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP): $(wildcard $(BPF_DIR)/*.[ch] $(BPF_DIR)/Makefile) | $(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_OUTPUT) $(Q)$(MAKE) -C $(BPF_DIR) OUTPUT=$(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_OUTPUT) \ DESTDIR=$(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_DESTDIR:/=) prefix= \ - ARCH= CROSS_COMPILE= CC=$(HOSTCC) LD=$(HOSTLD) AR=$(HOSTAR) $@ install_headers + ARCH= CROSS_COMPILE= CC="$(HOSTCC)" LD="$(HOSTLD)" AR="$(HOSTAR)" $@ install_headers $(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_INTERNAL_HDRS): $(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_HDRS_DIR)/%.h: $(BPF_DIR)/%.h | $(LIBBPF_BOOTSTRAP_HDRS_DIR) $(call QUIET_INSTALL, $@) -- 2.34.1
