Then again, the vast majority of userspace-projects do not use CROSS_COMPILE.
Build systems like ptxdist and buildroot have done fine with overriding CC so
far. I don't see much gain in that addition.
The same is true for CROSS_COMPILE as well.. since the patch does
still allow CC to be over-ridden (as was the previous behavior), why
not add CROSS_COMPILE as well considering folks who could be cross
compiling just i2ctools without using buildroot and the likes?
You can override CC even without a build-system :) I would sum it up like this:
On the positive side you could call it "more flexible", on the negative side
you could call it "redundant". I wouldn't pick it up, but I surely have no
strong feelings about it. It is up to Jean, after all.
I don't have a strong opinion on this either. But I don't get the point
of setting values for AS, LD, AR etc. when they don't seem to be used
anywhere. And STRIP is set too, but "strip" hard-coded in
tools/Module.mk, so I fail to see how that would work. What am I
missing?
I think I should have done just CC alone. I missed the strip one. but
are we interested in having CROSS_COMPILE? if yes, I can cleanup the
patch and resubmit.
