Re: [PATCH] MIPS: vmlinuz: Fix compiler intrinsics location and build directly

Hi James,

Actually, this patch would be better inserted as patch 3 in the series since it can pull in the generic ashldi3 before the MIPS one is removed in the final patch. Here's an updated commit message:

MIPS: vmlinuz: Use generic ashldi3 and build directly


In preparation for removing some of the MIPS compiler intrinsics from
arch/mips/lib, first update the build of vmlinuz to use the generic
ashldi3 from lib.


Both ashldi3 and bswapsi objects need to be built with different CFLAGS
for inclusion to vmlinuz rather than simply including the object built
for the main kernel image. But the current copy of the source C file to
arch/mips/boot/compressed can be avoided by simply calling cmd,cc_o_c to
build the object from the source directly. This also removes the need
for the .gitignore file to ignore the copied files, and the extra-y rule
to clean them.

Thanks,
Matt

Since commit "MIPS: use generic GCC library routines from lib/", MIPS
now uses the generic lib/ashldi3.c, but bswapsi.c still comes from
arch/mips/lib. The rules for including these into vmlinuz need updating
to reflect these locations.
