elfedit is used in Makefile

 Makefile:GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR := $(dir $(shell which $(CROSS_COMPILE)elfedit))

which causes this error getting printed

 which: no elfedit in (./scripts/dummy-tools)

Add elfedit to dummy-tools to avoid this error.

I am OK with this patch, but how did you reproduce it?

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ allmodconfig

it possibly depends on the config you already have, too.

Thanks

Maybey, are you working on linux-next?


[1]
$ git checkout  add74f8473^
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ allmodconfig

[2]
$ git checkout  add74f8473
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ allmodconfig



If [1] is OK, but [2] is NG,
commit add74f8473 is the root cause.

At least, I do not think this would happen
in the mainline kernel.

Yes, I do have the rust support.

Sounds like it. Before that the elfedit test was conditional on clang.

I can try to do the bisect but I think the reason it broke is quite
clear.

Thanks

Indeed, the rust support is the cause of the issue:

add74f8473c5ca7d8947c760ff355df991a259bb (HEAD) Rust support
0d02ec6b3136c73c09e7859f0d0e4e2c4c07b49b (tag: v5.12-rc4, s390/master,
s390/linux/master) Linux 5.12-rc4

While v5.12-rc4 is OK add74f8473 produces the error.

There is additional issue that I noticed: dummy tools does not work
seamlessly with O=

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=$(pwd)/scripts/dummy-tools/ O=/scratch/ppc64/ V=1 ARCH=powerpc allmodconfig > /dev/null
which: no elfedit in (/home/michal/linux-2.6/scripts/dummy-tools)

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ O=/scratch/ppc64/ V=1 ARCH=powerpc allmodconfig > /dev/null
which: no elfedit in (./scripts/dummy-tools)
scripts/Kconfig.include:39: compiler 'scripts/dummy-tools/gcc' not found
make[2]: *** [/home/michal/linux-2.6/scripts/kconfig/Makefile:63:
allmodconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [/home/michal/linux-2.6/Makefile:636: allmodconfig] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:222: __sub-make] Error 2

Perhaps linking dummy-tools into the target directory would be a good
idea?

Thanks

I applied your patch in rust-next and it is in the latest linux-next,
let me know if that helped.

Masahiro, if you want to apply it on your side, just let me know!

Cheers,
Miguel
