* [U-Boot] [PATCH] build:arm: Remove setting of CROSS_COMPILE environment variable

After Kbuild introduction, the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable has been
set to some default value (prefix arm-linux-).

This shall be removed since it breaks building u-boot for native arm target
(like qemu ARM).
Moreover not all compilers have arm-linux- prefix.

Additionally the u-boot cross compiles with CROSS_COMPILE= set explicitly-
e.g.:
CROSS_COMPILE=/ .... /arm-v7a-linux-gnueabi- make

Note that this is quite a long-standing thing.  Perhaps we're now not
detecting a native build when we used to?

Hi Tom,

My point is that we are relying on assigning default prefix (i.e.
arm-linux-)

For example OSELAS toolchains can have an arbitrary prefix
(e.g. arm-linux-gnueabi-).

When I cross compile I set explicitly "CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain> make"
and it works as it should (with or without this patch). Such approach
seems natural for me.

However, I don't know what is the exact rationale for seting this
arm-linux- prefix to CROSS_COMPILE.
I can only guess, that it is connected with situation when one just
type "make" on x86_64 host and expect u-boot to be CROSS_COMPILE'd
out of the box.

Unfortunately this doesn't work with ARM host emulated with qemu (like
OBS). Here when I type "make" I expect that "native" gcc for arm will
run without even touching CROSS_COMPILE environment variable.

Any idea how to fix this is more than welcome.

Best regards,
Lukasz Majewski

Agree.
It is useful only for people using "arm-linux-gcc" on x86 host.
I usually use "arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc". Someone else may be using other
prefixes.

I think there is no rationale more sophisticated than that it just has
been there since long time before.

So, I agree with this patch except a little misleading
commit description I commented below.

I believe it is the same as prior to Kbuild.

So, I am not convined with this part of your commit description:
> After Kbuild introduction, the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable has been
> set to some default value (prefix arm-linux-).


> Any idea how to fix this is more than welcome.

If you are searching some other choices,


[1]
ifneq ("$(origin CROSS_COMPILE)", "command line")
ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
CROSS_COMPILE := arm-linux-
endif
endif

For native build on ARM, you can explicitely set CROSS_COMPILE as
empty:    "make CROSS_COMPILE="
In this case, CROSS_COMPILE will not be overwritten in
arch/arm/config.mk.


[2]
ifneq ($(HOSTARCH),$(ARCH))
ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
CROSS_COMPILE := arm-linux-
endif
endif

For native build on ARM, both $(HOSTARCH) and $(ARCH)
are "arm", so CROSS_COMPILE will not be set.



But, I think deleting CROSS_COMPILE setting is the simplest and the best.

Albert, could you take this patch for your arm repository?

Maybe something like this:

-- 8< --
For building u-boot on ARM the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable, when
not defined, was set to default value (prefix arm-linux-).

Since not all cross compilers have the arm-linux- prefix and this
setting prevents from building u-boot on natively arm powered devices it
would be best to remove it.

As a side note:
The most universal way to cross compile u-boot is to
specify the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable explicitly - e.g.:
CROSS_COMPILE=/ .... /arm-v7a-linux-gnueabi- make

And also please add the Acked-by from Masahiro.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Albert, do you need any more support to pull this patch to u-boot-arm
branch?

Are you willing to add this patch to your u-boot-arm tree? 

I know that you were not available on the ML for some time and hence,
I'm curious if you plan to send pull request for u-boot-arm tree to Tom
before the v2014.04 release?

Yes and yes -- I am clean up my backlog and this patch will get in
before I send the PR.

Hi Albert,

BTW, you failed to rephrase the commit message.
Anyway it's too late and OK for me.
