When preprocessing arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, the target triple is not passed to $(CPP) because we add it only to KBUILD_{C,A}FLAGS. As a result, the linker script is preprocessed with predefined macros for the build host instead of the target. Assuming you use an x86 build machine, compare the following: $ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null $ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null -target aarch64-linux-gnu There is no actual problem presumably because our linker scripts do not rely on such predefined macros, but it is better to define correct ones. Move $(CFLAGS_CFLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, so that all *.c, *.S, *.lds.S will be processed with the proper target triple.
