Linaro toolchain supports gcc plugins. https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ kernel.org one supports it as well. https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ > A plain allmodconfig generated config compiles perfectly for me both native x86 and w/arm cross compile, > but it doesn't seem to enable any gcc plugins. > > Anyway, maybe I am getting this wrong anyway: > Having played with cross compile, it starts to become clear to me that HOSTCC rules > might not be the right rules to use, as it will generate host user land binaries as opposed to > target user land binaries (in a cross compile world obviously these differ) > > Now, I started off with using the rules in the selftests makefiles for this, but they do not play that well with > kernel module building.

Any hints on how to accomplish this appreciated :-) tools/ is out of scope of kbuild because it adopted a different (more adhoc) build system. I have no idea.
