Subject: [PATCH] kbuild, deb-pkg: support overriding userland architecture
Date: Sat,  6 Nov 2010 19:05:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289070320-20726-1-git-send-email-asbjorn@asbjorn.biz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4CD5A6C8.8030603@asbjorn.biz>

Usefull if building for sparc64 userland, because the
sparc and sparc64 userlands use the same 64-bit kernel,
making it impossible to always select the correct userland
architecture for the resulting debian package.

Might also be usefull, if you want a i386 userland with a amd64 kernel.

Example usage:
	make DEBARCH=i386 deb-pkg

This patch is based on my 'kbuild, deb-pkg: select
userland architecture based on UTS_MACHINE' patch.
