    kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when cross compiling with Clang · 86a9df59
    Nick Desaulniers 提交于
    I was not seeing my linker flags getting added when using ld-option when
    cross compiling with Clang. Upon investigation, this seems to be due to
    a difference in how GCC vs Clang handle cross compilation.
    
    GCC is configured at build time to support one backend, that is implicit
    when compiling.  Clang is explicit via the use of `-target <triple>` and
    ships with all supported backends by default.
    
    GNU Make feature test macros that compile then link will always fail
    when cross compiling with Clang unless Clang's triple is passed along to
    the compiler. For example:
    
    $ clang -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o
    $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o
    aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld:
    unknown architecture of input file `temp.o' is incompatible with
    aarch64 output
    aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld:
    warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to
    0000000000400078
    $ echo $?
    1
    
    $ clang -target aarch64-linux-android- -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o
    $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o
    aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld:
    warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000000004002e4
    $ echo $?
    0
    
    This causes conditional checks that invoke $(CC) without the target
    triple, then $(LD) on the result, to always fail.
