[PATCH v2 5/5] sandbox: Detect the host bit size automatically

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Sun Jul 18 22:14:26 CEST 2021


At present if you build sandbox on a 32-bit host a lot of errors are
produced. This is because CONFIG_HOST_64BIT is enabled by default.

It is quite annoying to have to change that manually before building
sandbox. It is also quite confusing for new users.

Add a way to detect the setting and add the appropriate
CONFIG_HOST_64BIT=y or CONFIG_HOST_32BIT=y to the defconfig, to avoid
this issue.
