[U-Boot-Users] Wrong compiler called for as flags

[Robert Schwebel]

Hi, 

while trying to make u-boot gcc-3.4 compilable I just found a strange
effect. The attached patch tries to fix the issues that came up on the
list during the last days. 

As gcc-2.95.3 is not able to generate code with -march=armv5
-mtune=xscale, I tried to make the decision on compile time by finding
out which compiler we have. This basically works, but for the
compilation of cpu/pxa/start.S it looks like the host compiler is taken
instead of the cross-gcc to determine the compiler flags. You can easily
reproduce this by applying my patch and compiling with a 2.95.3 cross
gcc, then grepping the output for 'armv5'. The incorrect results come
from the fact that, in this case, CROSS_COMPILE is not set, so instead
of arm-linux-gcc the host gcc is called to determine the test. 

My assumption is that the effect comes from the order the different
Makefiles and config.mk files are included when being called from
cpu/pxa. Unfortunately this is not easy to debug - maybe there is
somebody with better Makefile debugging skills than me on the list ;)

#               * Patch by Robert Schwebel, 12 June  2004:
#                 decide on compile time: gcc < 3.x builds xscale code 
#                 optimized for strong arm, > 3.x for xscale.
