Hi Thomas,

I run the below command:

$make V=1 --keep-going CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- -j1 O=build_dir 
ARCH=sparc64 -C tools/testing/selftests/vm
...
sparc64-linux-gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include  -no-pie -m32 -mxsave 
  protection_keys.c -lrt -lpthread -lrt -ldl -lm -o 
/root/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys_32
sparc64-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-mxsave'
make: *** [Makefile:107: 
/root/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys_32] Error 1
sparc64-linux-gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include  -no-pie -m64 -mxsave 
  protection_keys.c -lrt -lpthread -lrt -ldl -o 
/root/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys_64
sparc64-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-mxsave'
make: *** [Makefile:115: 
/root/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm/protection_keys_64] Error 1

and I attached the full build output for your reference.

Best Regards,
Rong Chen
