Re: make samples/bpf/ using gcc instead of clang/llvm

[Joel Fernandes]

Alexei,

Thanks for the quick reply.

But, the bpf sample programs like tracex1_kern.c are marked with
hostprogs-y in the Makefile as well, just like test_verifier.c. How
does Kbuild/Make know when to use gcc and when to use clang?

Best,
