Though when I run It is intentional -- the other case is that we're building for ARM, which only filters out the regular KBUILD_CFLAGS, so adding the flag for it should not be necessary. The cflags for ARM are constructed by manipulating KBUILD_CFLAGS. Besides it may or may not want unwind tables. 32-bit ARM appears to have an option to enable -funwind-tables. > > $ llvm-readelf -S drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a | grep eh_frame > > after doing an x86_64 defconfig, I don't get any hits.
