Concerning whitespaces. Unfortunately only after installing i386
distro and checking that `-mcpu' error, i've realized what exactly
whitespace you mean, doc!
cc-option-yn = $(call cc-option, "y", "n", $(1))
vs.
cc-option-yn = $(call cc-option,"y","n", $(1))
gives:
+ gcc ... -mtune=i386 -S -xc /dev/null -o /dev/shm/linux-2.6.20/.22730.null
(0) + echo ' y'
vs.
+ gcc ... -mtune=i386 -S -xc /dev/null -o /dev/shm/linux-2.6.20/.22231.null
(1) + echo y
and here sh1t hits the fun.
I always wondered where are all that whitespaces appearing in gcc
command line -- somebody adds them in makefiles, somebody don't, like
in this comments:
# cc-option
# Usage: cflags-y += $(call cc-option, -march=winchip-c6, -march=i586)
^ ^
further this is used as this:
#-mtune exists since gcc 3.4
HAS_MTUNE := $(call cc-option-yn, -mtune=i386)
(2) ifeq ($(HAS_MTUNE),y)
tune = $(call cc-option,-mtune=$(1),) [note: no whitespace]
else
tune = $(call cc-option,-mcpu=$(1),)
endif
[...]
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += -march=i686 $(call tune,pentium3)
cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += -march=i686 $(call tune,pentium3)
(2) conflicts with (0), but OK with (1).
Summary: is it better to fix comments, as they are missling?
Thanks, Roman!
