From 5e231a33b3af4efb576e2ec901a5705024e493be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vagrant Cascadian Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 02:36:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mipsel-native-endianness [MIPS] Fix little-endian build with non-ELDK toolchains We've been in trouble for a long time when cross compiling with non-ELDK toolchains. This is caused by -EB passed to CPPFLAGS incorrectly, by the lack of an endian specifier to LDFLAGS, and by wrong OUTPUT_FORMATs. We're going to implement two workarounds. One is the endianness specifier bugfix not to pass -EB / -EL to CPPFLAGS unless ELDK toolchain is used. Note that ELDK and non-ELDK toolchains know their default endianness, so the endianness specifier may not be necessary in principle. The other is removal of OUTPUT_FORMAT in *.lds files. If we have this, it doesn't work unless an endianness specifier is added to LDFLAGS. As we haven't added that to LDFLAGS so far, it must have not worked properly, except ELDK; I don't know why and how ELDK works, though. With these two changes, all objects will be generated and linked in the toolchain's default endianness. Then MAKEALL mips_el will work even with non-ELDK toolchain. Note that Linux/MIPS kernel has CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN and CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN alternatives to allow users to compile kernels with a toolchain for the other endianness. But U-Boot does not have such feature for now, and it's another story.
