Well, the practical problem seems to be that $(CHECK) is called in
scripts/Makefile.build with both $(CHECKFLAGS) and $(c_flags) as
arguments, regardless of what $(CHECK) is. That can be hacked around
with something inelegant like
diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.build b/scripts/Makefile.build
index bb831d49bcfd..102194f9afb9 100644
--- a/scripts/Makefile.build
+++ b/scripts/Makefile.build

quiet_cmd_force_checksrc = CHECK $<
- cmd_force_checksrc = $(CHECK) $(CHECKFLAGS) $(c_flags) $< ;
+ cmd_force_checksrc = $(CHECK) $(CHECKFLAGS) $(add_to_checkflags) $< ;
else
quiet_cmd_checksrc = CHECK $<
- cmd_checksrc = $(CHECK) $(CHECKFLAGS) $(c_flags) $< ;
+ cmd_checksrc = $(CHECK) $(CHECKFLAGS) $(add_to_checkflags) $< ;
endif
endif
and then if I run scripts/checkpatch.pl as $CHECK and pass --quiet
--file as before it works -- until checkpatch returns with a non-zero
exit code, which causes the Makefile to bail at that point.
So maybe a wrapper script, with an exit 0 fixup to keep on keeping on
in case of checkpatch warnings or errors, would be better after all.
