[PATCH] kbuild: install-extmod-build: Properly fix CC expansion when ccache is used
From: Abel Vesa
Date: Sun Nov 09 2025 - 17:26:54 EST
Currently, when cross-compiling and ccache is used, the expanding of CC
turns out to be without any quotes, leading to the following error:
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc'. Stop.
make[3]: *** [Makefile:2164: run-command] Error 2
And it makes sense, because after expansion it ends up like this:
make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND=+$(MAKE) \
HOSTCC=ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc VPATH= srcroot=. $(build)= ...
So add another set of double quotes, this time escaped, to make sure the
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc isn't expanded to something that looks like an
entirely separate target.
Fixes: 140332b6ed72 ("kbuild: fix linux-headers package build when $(CC) cannot link userspace")
