[PATCH] selftests: propagate CC to selftest submakes

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

 



lib.mk defaults to gcc when CC is not set. When building selftests
as part of a kernel compilation, MAKEFLAGS is cleared to allow implicit
build rules to be used. This has the side-effect of clearing the CC
variable, which will cause selftests to be built with gcc regardless of
if we are using gcc or clang. To remedy this, propagate the CC variable
when clearing makeflags to ensure the correct compiler is used.
