Hello, The other day I was attempting a kernel build and stumbled across this: $ CROSS_COMPILE=foo make /bin/sh: 1: foogcc: not found make: foogcc: Command not found /bin/sh: 1: foogcc: not found /bin/sh: 1: foogcc: not found scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: 17: ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: 18: ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: 19: ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: 17: ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: 18: ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: 19: ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/clang-version.sh: 11: ./scripts/clang-version.sh: foogcc: not found ./scripts/gcc-plugin.sh: 11: ./scripts/gcc-plugin.sh: foogcc: not found init/Kconfig:16:warning: 'GCC_VERSION': number is invalid /bin/sh: 1: foogcc: not found make: foogcc: Command not found Compiler lacks asm-goto support. make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:302: checkbin] Error 1 I had something more sensible for CROSS_COMPILE, but the point is it did not exist in my $PATH. I tried the patch below but there's still something calling the $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc before gcc-version: $ CROSS_COMPILE=foo make /bin/sh: 1: foogcc: not found make: foogcc: Command not found Compiler lacks asm-goto support. This isn't a big deal but if there's a simple fix it would be nice to clean up.
