| |
If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces:
<stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120.
There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)
Signed-off-by: George Spelvin <linux@horizon.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.14.x --- Originally sent March 19 (but elicited no response), this is still an issue with 3.15-rc4, and still applies without changes.
Sending to some general Linux-x86 people as well as the authors of the stack-protector patch that caused the problem. Feel free to fix it a different way, but could we please fix it?
