The quilt patch titled Subject: tools/mm: allow users to provide additional cflags/ldflags has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was tools-vm-allow-users-to-provide-additional-cflags-ldflags.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Herton R. Krzesinski" <herton@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: tools/mm: allow users to provide additional cflags/ldflags Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2023 19:49:21 -0300 Right now there is no way to provide additional cflags/ldflags when building tools/vm binaries. And using eg. make CFLAGS=<options> will override the CFLAGS being set in the Makefile, making the build fail since it requires the include of the ../lib dir (for libapi). This change then allows you to specify: CFLAGS=<options> LDFLAGS=<options> make V=1 -C tools/vm And the options will be correctly appended as can be seen from the make output.
