Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Fix detection of clang when cross-compiling
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 16:34:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428590094-6995-1-git-send-email-paul@crapouillou.net> (raw)

When the host's C compiler is clang, and when attempting to
cross-compile Linux e.g. to MIPS with mipsel-linux-gcc, the Makefile
would incorrectly detect the use of clang, which resulted in
clang-specific flags being passed to mipsel-linux-gcc.

This can be verified under Debian by installing the "clang" package,
and then using it as the default compiler with:
sudo update-alternatives --config cc

This patch moves the detection of clang after the $(CC) variable is
initialized to the name of the cross-compiler, so that the check applies
to the cross-compiler and not the host's C compiler.
