[PATCH] kbuild: tools: drop overridden CFLAGS from MAKEOVERRIDES

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some Makefiles under tools/ use the 'override CFLAGS += ...' construct
to add a few required options to CFLAGS passed by the user.
Unfortunately that only works when user passes CFLAGS as an environment
variable, i.e.
  CFLAGS=... make ...
and not in case when CFLAGS are passed as make command line arguments:
  make ... CFLAGS=...
It happens because in the latter case CFLAGS=... is recorded in the make
variable MAKEOVERRIDES and this variable is passed in its original form
to all $(MAKE) subcommands, taking precedence over modified CFLAGS value
passed in the environment variable. E.g. this causes build failure for
gpio and iio tools when the build is run with user CFLAGS because of
missing _GNU_SOURCE definition needed for the asprintf().

One way to fix it is by removing overridden variables from the
MAKEOVERRIDES. Add macro 'drop-var-from-overrides' that removes a
definition of a variable passed to it from the MAKEOVERRIDES and use it
to fix CFLAGS passing for tools/gpio and tools/iio.
