Subjectx86 - weird cross-compile build problem with try-run next-20210602
Date
I built a gcc 11.1 cross-compiler targeting x86_64, and builds
were throwing an error message:

Makefile:149: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support

so I added some debugging to arch/x86/Makefile:

ifdef CONFIG_X86_X32
x32_ld_ok := $(call try-run,\
/bin/echo -e '1: .quad 1b' | \
$(CC) $(KBUILD_AFLAGS) -c -x assembler -o "$$TMP" - && \
$(OBJCOPY) -O elf32-x86-64 "$$TMP" "$$TMP.o" && \
$(LD) -m elf32_x86_64 "$$TMP.o" -o "$$TMP",y,n)
$(warning x32_ld_ok is +$(x32_ld_ok)+ with CC=$(CC) $(KBUILD_AFLAGS) OBJ=$(OBJCOPY) LD=$(LD) )
ifeq ($(x32_ld_ok),y)
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI := y

and that throws:

arch/x86/Makefile:143: x32_ld_ok is ++ with CC=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -D__ASSEMBLY__ -fno-PIE -m64 OBJ=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-objcopy LD=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld

Anybody have a clue why $(x32_ld_ok) is null rather than 'y' or 'n'?

(It's totally possible that my cross-compiler is broken, but I still don't see how
try-run would return null rather than 'n' in that case... I built a shell script that did the
test and that ended with $? == 0, but had a warning msg:

+ /bin/echo -e '1: .quad 1b'
+ x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -D__ASSEMBLY__ -fno-PIE -m64 -c -x assembler -o /tmp/z97 -
+ x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-objcopy -O elf32-x86-64 /tmp/z97 /tmp/z99.o
+ x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld -m elf32_x86_64 /tmp/z99.o -o /tmp/z98
