Subject[RFC] broken installkernel.sh with CROSS_COMPILE
From
Date
I noticed that my cross-compilation 'make install' broke with 2.6.13 (I
don't use it horribly often). It's from this commit:

http://www.kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46

Which added CROSS_COMPILE to each arch's install.sh:

if [ -x ~/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel ]; then exec ~/bin/${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel "$@"; fi

However, I don't just have a simple arch name as my CROSS_COMPILE, I
have a whole path, so that line expands like this for me:

+ '[' -x /home/dave/bin//home/services/cross_compile/ppc64/bin/ppc64-linux-gnu-installkernel ']'

Needless to say, that doesn't work :)

Could we do something that's guaranteed to not have lots of extra path
elements in it, like ARCH? Something like this?

That way, people like me who have a single installkernel script that
does all of the fancy arch-detection can just do this:

for i in `ls linux-2.6.git/arch/`; do
ln -s ~/bin/installkernel ~/bin/$i-installkernel
fi

And be done with it forever.
