The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because the command $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" does not create object file! I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact but the results are the same. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done $ ls -la /tmp/1.o ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory We can easily fix the problem by adding the '-x c' compiler option. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o $ ls -la /tmp/1.o -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr 2 20:40 /tmp/1.o Signed-off-by: Antony Pavlov <antonynpavlov@xxxxxxxxx> --- scripts/Kbuild.include | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/Kbuild.include b/scripts/Kbuild.include index 978416d..547e15d 100644 --- a/scripts/Kbuild.include +++ b/scripts/Kbuild.include @@ -148,7 +148,7 @@ cc-ldoption = $(call try-run,\ # ld-option # Usage: LDFLAGS += $(call ld-option, -X) ld-option = $(call try-run,\ - $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" ; $(LD) $(1) "$$TMPO" -o "$$TMP",$(1),$(2)) + $(CC) -x c /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" ; $(LD) $(1) "$$TMPO" -o "$$TMP",$(1),$(2)) # ar-option # Usage: KBUILD_ARFLAGS := $(call ar-option,D) -- 1.7.10.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
