From 3835f82183eab8b67ddda6b32c127859a546c82d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2006 12:03:09 +0100 Subject: kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper" some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed permissions or suddenly became a regular file. The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did some strange things with the output file; in this case /dev/null when it errorred out. Following patch implements a suggestion from Bryan O'Sullivan to use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so. Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used. This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper Thanks to Eyal Lebedinsky and Jean Delvare for the first error reports.

Kyle McMartin steps on his soap-box: "Sigh. Can everyone please stop assuming gcc can output to /dev/null? On several platforms, ld tries to lseek in the output file, and fails if it can't."
