Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 201011101711.17574.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
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?
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_*).
Your "one size fits all" approach is broken.
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.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
