Really? You mean, you need different tool chains to build U-Boot, the Linux kernel or user space applications? Frankly, I consider those tool chains broken. > however will produce useful userspace applications for whatever host the user > has selection. This makes no sense to me. We have CROSS_COMPILE set, and that is supposed to be used for cross compilation. IIRC, HOSTCC refers to the C compiler on the and for the build host, i. e. when running on a x86 system it will create x86 code. This is obviously wrong when we try to build fw_printenv for, say, a PPC4xx system.
