Correction. If the libraries are being built for other reasons then
it is acceptable to just add them to the XXX_objects list, as ia64
does.
base_target(ia64_bootloader)
select(bootloader.o)
bootloader_objects := $(__pp_ia64_bootloader_objects)
bootloader_objects += $(objfile /lib/lib.a) $(objfile /arch/$(ARCH)/lib/lib.a)
user_command(bootloader
($(bootloader_objects))
($(LD) -static -T$(srcfile bootloader.lds) $(bootloader_objects) -o $@)
()
)
If you are in any doubt about whether the objects will be built or not
then use select() under the boot loader base target.
'bootloader_objects :=' gets the list that kbuild 2.5 knows about, then
it is extended by objects that the user knows about. Strictly speaking
I would like to see all uses of an object or library use select() so
kbuild 2.5 knows about everything. However this could make the rules
much uglier, especially when an arch directory needs to include the
general /lib/lib.a in a base target, so I am flexible.
