From 3b27a0c85d7068130ed8e3977a2e977ade986841 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 11:39:30 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] objtool: Detect and warn if libelf is missing and don't break the build With CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION enabled, if the host system doesn't have a development version of libelf installed, the build fails with errors like: elf.h:22:18: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Instead of failing to build, instead just print a warning and disable stack validation.
