[RFC PATCH] Use target compiler for user binaries in samples/

From: Sam Ravnborg
Date: Sun Mar 31 2013 - 12:53:50 EST


The user-space binaries build in samples/ uses the installed
headers for the kernel.
Therefore it is wrong that they use the host compiler
to build the samples.

Following is an attempt to create some infrastructure
for building user-space binaries that uses the uapi headers.

As my sparc cross toolchain does not supporting building
user-space I have not been able to test this as good as I hoped...

But faking that my native gcc is a cross gcc seems to work.

This adds two new variables to the top-level Makefile:
UAPICC and UAPICFLAGS

The architectures that supports both 32 and 64 bit set the
appropriate flags in UAPICFLAGS.

scripts/Makefile.uapiprogs cantains all the infrastructure.

I updated the samples for hidraw and seccomp to use the new
infrastructure.

The file says:
+# Sample syntax (see Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt for reference)

But I did not bother to write this yet - awaiting feedback.

Sam
