Hello; Can anybody tell me what variable i need to set in the kernel makefile or elsewhere that points the build to my cross compile gcc?
i have tried setting, CC, HOSTCC and a few other things and it hasnt worked. no matter what i try, the build seems to keep using the system gcc and that is mighty annoying. the only way i have managed to cross build a kernel is to actually mv the system gcc out of the way and make a softlink to my cross-compiler. which works, but causes a large chunk of grief when i try and build an app for my desktop and then get the wrong executable format for my desktop because i have forgotten to return the gcc link back to pointing at the system gcc. :-( what am i failing to understand about the kernel build process? tnx! johnu -- [email protected] mailing list
