so do what i said -- set the HOSTCC to the host you want the tools to run on. this will work for *all* tools instead of arbitrarily picking some to use HOSTCC while picking others to use CROSS.
Why are you so ignorant?
cut the crap
There are tools that are supposed to run on the build host (like mkimage or gen_eth_addr), and there are tools that are supposed to run on the target (like fw_*).
you're assuming too much here as well. i need to support cross-compiling all the tools for when the build==host==target and build!=host==target and build!=host!=target. this is the stuff i hit every day with package managers and distro setups.
Seems this was not a fix, but introduced an error. Dp you agree to revert that commit?
of course i disagree. this change is a fix in my mind.
Please reconsider. This has been working for nearly a decade, and now it's broken. I want to see this fixed. If needed, by reverting the commit that broke it.
it's been working for your specific use cases. it hasnt been working without pains for everyone. -mike
