[PATCH] kbuild: Use uname for LINUX_COMPILE_HOST detection

From: Chris Down
Date: Tue Oct 20 2020 - 05:35:03 EST


`hostname` may not be present on some systems as it's not mandated by
POSIX/SUSv4. This isn't just a theoretical problem: on Arch Linux,
`hostname` is provided by `inetutils`, which isn't part of the base
distribution.

./scripts/mkcompile_h: line 38: hostname: command not found

Use `uname -n` instead, which is more likely to be available (and
mandated by standards).
