Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: Respect HOSTCC when linking for host
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2023 23:43:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230918234412.363087-2-mmaurer@google.com> (raw)

Currently, rustc defaults to invoking `cc`, even if `HOSTCC` is defined,
resulting in build failures in hermetic environments where `cc` does not
exist. This includes both hostprogs and proc-macros.

Since we are setting the linker to `HOSTCC`, we set the linker flavor to
`gcc` explicitly.

Updated the patch to reflect Nick's comment that KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS     
should be respected as well.

I did not switch it to use HOSTLD for two reasons:                     
* That variable is not globally defined - it is only available in two   
  subdirectories of tools/                                                                            
* C host scripts are linked by HOSTCC as well, even when linking a                                    
  collection of object files. It *prints* HOSTLD, but invokes HOSTCC.                                 
  See scripts/Makefile.host cmd_host-cmulti for an example.
