From 936599ca514973d44a766b7376c6bbdc96b6a8cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2025 15:47:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: userprogs: use correct linker when mixing clang and GNU ld MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The userprogs infrastructure does not expect clang being used with GNU ld and in that case uses /usr/bin/ld for linking, not the configured $(LD). This fallback is problematic as it will break when cross-compiling. Mixing clang and GNU ld is used for example when building for SPARC64, as ld.lld is not sufficient; see Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst. Relax the check around --ld-path so it gets used for all linkers.
