It seems most of the time we are building and running sandbox on 64-bit host.
But we do support 32-bit host as well. Introduce Kconfig option for this.

Convert SANDBOX_BITS_PER_LONG to Kconfig and assign it a correct
number depending on which host we are going to build and run.

Is it OK to build 64-bit sandbox on a 32-bit machine? Does that actually work?
If then I think we need a 3-way setting like:
- 32-bit
- 64-bit
- native (i.e. whatever the host is)

That means cross-compiling sandbox. So far this is not working. I will
take a look.

Or perhaps we just require it to use the bit size of the host? Does
compiling 64-bit U-Boot on a 32-bit machine actually work?

I have not looked into that further but I suspect there is more work
than the bit size of the host, for example, linking 64-bit vs. 32-bit
libraries?

But does it compile 64-bit sandbox OK on a 32-bit machine? I would
have thought it would complain.
I'm not really asking for this feature, it's just that I don't
understand how your patch works, and don't necessarily want to lose
the ability to build a 32-bit sandbox. It is to some extent a helpful
build/unit test for 32-bit boards which we still have many of.

Simon

No. Compiling 64-bit sandbox never worked on a 32-bit machine. So far
sandbox build only supports:
1). build from a 32-bit host and run from a 32-bit host
2). build from a 64-bit host and run from a 64-bit host (current
default setting)

This patch does not introduce any functional changes. It just converts
SANDBOX_BITS_PER_LONG to Kconfig so that this can be changed from
defconfigs or 'make menuconfig' to make it more user friendly if we
are building (a 32-bit) sandbox on a 32-bit host. Ideally we should
add such cross-build functionality to sandbox build.

Bin
