[PATCH RFC 1/1] kbuild: enable overriding the compiler using the environment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Only use gcc/g++ for HOSTCC, HOSTCXX and CC by default if they are not
already defined in the environment.  This fixes cases such as building
host tools with clang without having gcc installed.

The issue was initially hit when running merge_config.sh with clang
only as it failed to build "HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep".
