Subject: [PATCH] arm64: build with baremetal linker target instead of Linux when available
Date:   Fri, 13 Jul 2018 08:30:33 -0700
Message-Id: <20180713153033.20540-1-olof@lixom.net>
In-Reply-To: <20180713150701.GA3049@arm.com>
References: <20180713150701.GA3049@arm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Not all toolchains have the baremetal elf targets, RedHat/Fedora ones
in particular. So, probe for whether it's available and use the previous
(linux) targets if it isn't.
