[PATCH] arm64: Enforce endianness build flags for LD and AS

From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Tue Oct 03 2017 - 16:58:31 EST


If LD or AS is specified on the command line using "make LD=<my-ld>",
the endianness flag will not be added. Depending on the toolchain used,
this can result in endianness mismatch errors, such as

aarch64-cros-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.27.0/ld.bfd.real:
arch/arm64/crypto/.tmp_aes-ce-cipher.o:
compiled for a big endian system and target is little endian

The problem was observed when using the Chrome OS build system (which sets
LD on the command line) for an arm64:allmodconfig build.

Use the override flag for both LD and AS to ensure that the endianness
flag is always set.
