When the host's C compiler is clang, and when attempting to cross-compile Linux e.g. to MIPS with mipsel-linux-gcc, the Makefile would incorrectly detect the use of clang, which resulted in clang-specific flags being passed to mipsel-linux-gcc. This can be verified under Debian by installing the "clang" package, and then using it as the default compiler with: sudo update-alternatives --config cc This patch moves the detection of clang after the $(CC) variable is initialized to the name of the cross-compiler, so that the check applies to the cross-compiler and not the host's C compiler. v2: Move the detection of clang after the inclusion of the arch/*/Makefile (as they might set $(CROSS_COMPILE)) Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Makefile | 16 +++++++--------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index fbd43bf..e1e8c7e 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -335,15 +335,6 @@ endif export KBUILD_MODULES KBUILD_BUILTIN export KBUILD_CHECKSRC KBUILD_SRC KBUILD_EXTMOD -ifneq ($(CC),) -ifeq ($(shell $(CC) -v 2>&1 | grep -c "clang version"), 1) -COMPILER := clang -else -COMPILER := gcc -endif -export COMPILER -endif - # Look for make include files relative to root of kernel src MAKEFLAGS += --include-dir=$(srctree) @@ -673,6 +664,13 @@ endif endif KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(stackp-flag) +ifeq ($(shell $(CC) -v 2>&1 | grep -c "clang version"), 1) +COMPILER := clang +else +COMPILER := gcc +endif +export COMPILER + ifeq ($(COMPILER),clang) KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Qunused-arguments,) KBUILD_CPPFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-Wno-unknown-warning-option,) -- 2.1.4 -- 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
