I was not seeing my linker flags getting added when using ld-option when cross compiling with Clang. Upon investigation, this seems to be due to a difference in how GCC vs Clang handle cross compilation. GCC is configured at build time to support one backend, that is implicit when compiling. Clang is explicit via the use of `-target <triple>` and ships with all supported backends by default. GNU Make feature test macros that compile then link will always fail when cross compiling with Clang unless Clang's triple is passed along to the compiler. For example: $ clang -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: unknown architecture of input file `temp.o' is incompatible with aarch64 output aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400078 $ echo $? 1 $ clang -target aarch64-linux-android- -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000000004002e4 $ echo $? 0 This causes conditional checks that invoke $(CC) without the target triple, then $(LD) on the result, to always fail.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
