(maybe that doesn't matter here, as either imply > "don't use clang as the assembler when compiling with clang") $(origin LLVM_IAS) knows the difference. make CC=clang -> $(origin LLVM_IAS) is 'undefined' make CC=clang LLVM_IAS= -> $(origin LLVM_IAS) is 'command line' LLVM_IAS= make CC=clang -> $(origin LLVM_IAS) is 'environment' The following patch makes both LLVM_IAS= and LLVM_IAS=0 work for disabling the integrated assembler. @@ -22,6 +22,9 @@ else CLANG_FLAGS += --target=$(notdir $(CROSS_COMPILE:%-=%)) endif # CROSS_COMPILE +# The integrated assembler is enabled by default. +LLVM_IAS ?= 1 + ifeq ($(LLVM_IAS),1) CLANG_FLAGS += -integrated-as else But, I am not pretty sure if it is a good idea... Perhaps, it is better to require LLVM_IAS=0 as Khem mentioned. Another way for avoiding ambiguity is, perhaps LLVM_IAS_DISABLE=1 instead of LLVM_IAS=0. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
