From 910b40468a9ce3f2f5d48c5d260329c27d45adb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 21:46:01 +0200 Subject: kbuild: introduce cc-cross-prefix cc-cross-prefix is useful for the architecture that like to provide a default CROSS_COMPILE value, but may have several to select between. Sample usage: ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH)) ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),) CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu- m68k-linux-) endif endif Actual usage by the different archs will taken care of later.
