[PATCH] powerpc/Makefile: use $(objtree) for crtsavres.o

From: A. Sverdlin

Date: Fri Sep 19 2025 - 08:15:13 EST


From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@xxxxxxxxxxx>

... otherwise it could be problematic to build external modules:

make[2]: Entering directory '.../kernel-module-hello-world'
| CC [M] hello-world.o
| MODPOST Module.symvers
| CC [M] hello-world.mod.o
| CC [M] .module-common.o
| LD [M] hello-world.ko
| powerpc-poky-linux-ld.bfd: cannot find arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file or directory
