Subject: [PATCH v2] Makefile: Fix GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR prefix for Clang cross compilation

When CROSS_COMPILE is set (e.g. aarch64-linux-gnu-), if
$(CROSS_COMPILE)elfedit is found at /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-elfedit,
GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR will be set to /usr/bin/. --prefix= will be set to
/usr/bin/ and Clang as of 11 will search for both
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu-$needle and $(prefix)$needle.

GCC searchs for $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$version/$needle,
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle and $(prefix)$needle. In practice,
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle rarely contains executables.

To better model how GCC's -B/--prefix takes in effect in practice, newer
Clang (since
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/3452a0d8c17f7166f479706b293caf6ac76ffd90)
only searches for $(prefix)$needle. Currently it will find /usr/bin/as
instead of /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-as.

Set --prefix= to $(GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(CROSS_COMPILE)
(/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-) so that newer Clang can find the
appropriate cross compiling GNU as (when -no-integrated-as is in
effect).

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

Hi Fangrui,

your patch needs to be accepted first in Linus tree - among other
things to have a unique commit-id for inclusion into any affected
Linux-stable trees.

You are not wrong but that is not what Greg's auto response is complaining
about. It is that [email protected] was cc'd but there was no

Cc: [email protected]

in the commit message, which is how patches get automatically picked up
by Greg and Sasha once they hit Linus's tree.

That line should be added above my Reported-by tag. Fangrui, sorry for
not being clear in my initial response :(

Cheers,
Nathan
