Ok, so I have tried installing the arm-linux-gnueabihf cross compiler and compiled the kernel for arm, but allmodconfig does not seem to enable any GCC plugins per default even on ARM and I haven't been able to figure out how to enable any. A plain allmodconfig generated config compiles perfectly for me both native x86 and w/arm cross compile, but it doesn't seem to enable any gcc plugins. Anyway, maybe I am getting this wrong anyway: Having played with cross compile, it starts to become clear to me that HOSTCC rules might not be the right rules to use, as it will generate host user land binaries as opposed to target user land binaries (in a cross compile world obviously these differ) Now, I started off with using the rules in the selftests makefiles for this, but they do not play that well with kernel module building. My goal is to be able to do both user land and kernel module **target** compiles from the same subtree. Any hints on how to accomplish this appreciated :-) Thanks, Knut
