Permit me to be the bearer of bad architecture news once again. With
arm64 cross compiler (both Fedora 6.1.1 and Linaro 5.1)

  CC      drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o
  OBJCOPY drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o
  LD      drivers/misc/lkdtm.o
drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o: file not recognized: File format not

make: *** [drivers] Error 2


As far as I can tell this is because arm64 defines OBJCOPYFLAGS and they get
propagated to objcopy

aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment
        -S --set-section-flags .text=alloc,readonly
        --rename-section .text=.rodata drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o 
drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o

vs x86

objcopy  --set-section-flags .text=alloc,readonly --rename-section .text=.rodata
        drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata.o drivers/misc/lkdtm_rodata_objcopy.o


specifically it's the -O binary that seems to break things, the same failure
happens on x86 as well with the the same commands. It works if I clear out
the OBJCOPYFLAGS variable first but I don't think that's the correct way to
fix this.

Thanks,
Laura
