- rename check_gcc to check_cc and pass the CC to use as arg#1; peruse check_cc for HOSTCFLAGS
- add and use check_strip
- add checks for {,no-}whole-archive and {start,end}-group LD flags
- flag .depend as .NOTPARALLEL to workaround bug in make-3.80 and make-3.81
Some more details on the second workaround (i.e. kludge):
make-3.80 silently fails, while make-3.81 is at least self-conscious enough to
admit:
include/usage_compressed.h: .config scripts/usage
# Implicit rule search has not been done.
# File does not exist.
# File has not been updated.
# Dependencies commands running (THIS IS A BUG).
# commands to execute (from `/home/cow/src/bb2/Makefile', line 430):
$(Q)$(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/scripts/usage_compressed "$(top_builddir)/scripts" > $@
I'm giving up on trying to run the rest of the prerequisites of .depend in
parallel and just (try to) indicate that the prerequisites of .depend are
not to be run in parallel.
While this makes `make distclean defconfig;make -j´ work for me, it is not a
real -- longterm -- solution; FIXME

landley, that one broke your tar-testing (see below).
To see the issue i was talking about in the comment to rev. 14431, remove the
'P' from ARFLAGS in Rules.mak, then recompile.
You will see undefined references to these symbols:
iplink_main
iproute_main
iptunnel_main
login_main
run_parts_main
These are due to the fact that these applets (named e.g. login.o) clash with
libbb/login.o, for example. So ar sees that we're going to add login.o
(the applet!) and does so. Later on, we add libbb/login.o (just the basename
is used, so login.o). and this libbb/login.o *replaces* the login.o (the
applet!).
I therefor want (you) to rename abovementioned files from libbb to have
a prefix bb_ (e.g. svn mv libbb/login.c libbb/bb_login.c) to avoid these
clashed.
ok?
TIA,
- don't overwrite objects in the archive. Affected applets with name-clash
mostly vs. libbb:
iplink_main
iproute_main
iptunnel_main
login_main
run_parts_main
