From 222d394d30e74bb7a2a65029fcea68107b0d0eb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 21:59:31 +0200 Subject: kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS The variable AFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of AFLAGS with KBUILD_AFLAGS all over the tree. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg --- Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt b/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt index 1ca535bcc8c..f4779cd1542 100644 --- a/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt +++ b/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt @@ -424,6 +424,7 @@ more details, with real examples. as-instr checks if the assembler reports a specific instruction and then outputs either option1 or option2 C escapes are supported in the test instruction + Note: as-instr-option uses KBUILD_AFLAGS for $(AS) options cc-option cc-option is used to check if $(CC) supports a given option, and not @@ -819,14 +820,14 @@ When kbuild executes, the following steps are followed (roughly): In this example, the binary $(obj)/image is a binary version of vmlinux.
