Subject: Re: [PATCH] arm: vdso: pass --be8 to linker if necessary

Hey Masahiro,

I'm not sure exactly. I did just notice another place --be8 is being added:

ifeq ($(CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8),y)
LDFLAGS_vmlinux += --be8
KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE   += --be8
endif

I suppose it's possible that this is kbuild related where one of those
isn't winding up in the right place. I did see that the commit that
this patch addresses uses "=" instead of the more usual ":=" or "+="
for whatever reason.

Jason
