I am wondering how "HOSTLDFLAGS_sign-file" and
"HOSTLDFLAGS_extract-cert" worked for you.


Kbuild supports HOSTLDLIBS_<target> syntax,
but not HOSTLDFLAGS_<target>.


I see $(HOSTLDLIBS_$(target-stem) in scripts/Makefile.host
but failed to find $(HOSTLDFLAGS_$(target-stem)).

So, presumably you will get the same result
(OE build error will be fixed)
even without HOSTLDFLAGS_sign-file
or HOSTLDFLAGS_extract-cert.



But, I am still wondering what the correct approach is.



Basically, there are two ways to link libraries
in non-standard paths.



[1] Give linker flags via HOSTLDFLAGS

   This is documented in Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst

   HOSTLDFLAGS
   -----------
   Additional flags to be passed when linking host programs.




[2] Use pkg-config






OE already adopted [1].

I think the following long lines came from HOSTLDFLAGS.

    -isystem/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/include
\
    -O2 -pipe -L/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib
\
    -L/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/lib
\
    -Wl,-rpath-link,/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib
\
    -Wl,-rpath-link,/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/lib
\
    -Wl,-rpath,/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib
\
    -Wl,-rpath,/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/lib
\
    -Wl,-O1 -I/oe/build/tmp/work/MACHINE/linux/5.10+gitAUTOINC+b01f250d83-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/include
\
    -I ./scripts -o scripts/extract-cert \




But, some people are not satisfied with [1] (or do not notice it)?


Then, 2cea4a7a1885 introduced the second one [2].

Mixing [1] and [2] perhaps confuses the build system somehow?




So, 2cea4a7a1885 was a problem, but
I do not think this patch is the right one either.

(At least, HOSTLDFLAGS_* additions are pointless)
