I'm not sure, but still I think this logic of your patches #1 and #2
may break the builds for others.
That said, I'd prefer if we can get it working without your patches #1 and #2.
Can't we do without them?

They are mostly do avoid hacks in the nolibc testsuite.
I'll drop them and use this instead: --- a/tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/run-tests.sh
+++ b/tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/run-tests.sh
@@ -175,6 +175,10 @@ test_arch() {
fi
MAKE=(make -f Makefile.nolibc -j"${nproc}" XARCH="${arch}" CROSS_COMPILE="${cross_compile}" LLVM="${llvm}" O="${build_dir}")
+ if [ "$arch" = "parisc32" ]; then
+ MAKE+=("CROSS32CC=${cross_compile}gcc")
can you try if
MAKE += " ARCH=parisc"
works too?


However in the long-term it would be nice not the need it anymore.
Afaik is parisc the only architecture which needs a special compiler
specification for the native vDSO.

actually it doesn't. It will figure out itself.

I tried your patch series, but they fail to apply to my series or
upstream.

These patches are currently based on nolibc/for-next

Ok.
Thanks!
