Hi, I just want to make sure there is still a limitation in place where the toolchain type of a cross compiler must equal the toolchain type of the build compiler? I'm configuring a build for Android (aarch64-linux) and I am using the clang toolchain type for doing the cross compilation, while I'm using gcc as the build compiler. However, I get errors running configure:
configure: The BuildC compiler (located as /usr/bin/cc) does not seem to be the required clang compiler. Looking into toolchain.m4, this sounds fair to me, as the BuildC compiler (line 916 and below) is also tested with TOOLCHAIN_EXTRACT_COMPILER_VERSION(BUILD_CC, [BuildC]) which unconditionally checks for the $TOOLCHAIN_TYPE. Hence, it seems cross-compiling using a clang compiler, while using gcc as the build compiler is not possible. That's by no means a showstopper to me, I just want to double check that I'm not missing something. Thanks, - Johan
