Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 201011100419.10315.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
Mike, what _exactly_ was the reason to drop cross compilation?
nothing was "dropped". you need to set your HOSTCC correctly for the host on which you want tools to compile.
But it is WRONG to use HOSTCC for fw_* - these are _target_ tools, and they need to be CROSS compiled.
this is like arguing that none of the tools in tools/Makefile cross-compile. they do. i simply fixed tools/env/Makefile to operate the same.
Seems this was not a fix, but introduced an error. Dp you agree to revert that commit?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

us is right.
