PING 2: [PATCH] Avoid conflict with host definitions when cross-compiling

PING 2: [PATCH] Avoid conflict with host definitions when cross-compiling

[Pavel Fedin]

 Hello!
 Guys, i've seen you reviewing some cross-compiling related changes by Paul Gortmaker. Can anybody
help me with upstreaming this small thing? I don't know who to cc:, and definitely not Linus. LKML
is vast, and the small patch seems to be lost.

Kind regards,

I'd suggest aiming it at the trivial tree: trivial@kernel.org.
