What is the specific bug you intend to fix here? Using ppc_8xx-size in case CROSS_COMPILE is not set is not worse than using the native "size" command, it seems. Actually, given the fact that the majority supported of boards are PowerPC, it is right in most cases.
So why do you think it should be changed?
ive posted this patch a few times but never gotten a response ...
this code is wrong because ppc_8xx-size rarely exists for people who are not doing ppc development while size almost always exists.
so while the toplevel Makefile will setup a default CROSS prefix based on the board config, the MAKEALL script does not have access to that information, so for everyone who lacks ppc_8xx-size, using the MAKEALL script yields annoying broken output by default.
consider my typical use case: ./MAKEALL blackfin i do not have CROSS_COMPILE set in my env and this is OK because the top level Makefile sets it by default to bfin-uclinux-. -mike
Thanks Mike.
