I tried to filter out the use of the switch (exported as > ASM_MACRO_FLAGS) for empty.o. Any suggestions on how to do it properly? You can do like this: diff --git a/scripts/mod/Makefile b/scripts/mod/Makefile index 42c5d50..a5b4af4 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/Makefile +++ b/scripts/mod/Makefile @@ -4,6 +4,8 @@ OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD := y hostprogs-y := modpost mk_elfconfig always := $(hostprogs-y) empty.o +CFLAGS_REMOVE_empty.o := $(ASM_MACRO_FLAGS) + modpost-objs := modpost.o file2alias.o sumversion.o devicetable-offsets-file := devicetable-offsets.h modpost is an exceptional hostprogam - it depends on target compiler, which makes the build order complicated. I want to compile under scripts/ only with $(HOSTCC). I am planning to change modpost target-independent by detecting 32/64 bit, little/big-endianness run-time. Then, empty.c will go away. In the meanwhile, CFLAGS_REMOVE_ will do as a workaround. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada -- 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
