is that described somewhere as a valid building interface?
I never use it so I have no idea.. would you describe your
build env/process?

please describe also the the issue itself in the changelog, not just the fix


so objtool is using SRCARCH this way, I guess it's fine

if we go this way, you also need to change the pmu-events/Build
and there's some comment using $(ARCH) in util/header.c
