good to know ... usually i'm lazy and so i just set the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE |
| 49 |
values manually in my kernel Makefiles so i dont have to remember to set the |
| 50 |
values properly ... |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
perhaps longer term solution is to get the kernel eclasses to automagically |
| 53 |
set CROSS_COMPILE to ${CHOST}- ... i'll open a bug for it ... |
