[PATCH v3 3/3] objtool: Alter how HOSTCC is forced

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 04:03:20 EST


HOSTCC is always wanted when building objtool. Setting CC to HOSTCC
happens after tools/scripts/Makefile.include is included, meaning
flags are set assuming say CC is gcc, but then it can be later set to
HOSTCC which may be clang. tools/scripts/Makefile.include is needed
for host set up and common macros in objtool's Makefile. Rather than
override CC to HOSTCC, just pass CC as HOSTCC to Makefile.build, the
libsubcmd builds and the linkage step. This means the Makefiles don't
see things like CC changing and tool flag determination, and similar,
work properly. To avoid mixing CFLAGS from different compilers just
the objtool CFLAGS are determined with the exception of
EXTRA_WARNINGS. HOSTCFLAGS is added to these so that command line
flags can add to the CFLAGS.
