While I've been running into an issue here only because of an additional
local change I'm carrying, to be able to override just the compiler in
$(XEN_ROOT)/.config (rather than the whole tool chain), in
config/StdGNU.mk:
ifeq ($(filter-out default undefined,$(origin CC)),)
I'd like to propose to nevertheless correct the underlying issue:
Exporting an unset variable changes its origin from "undefined" to
"file". This comes into effect because of our adding of -rR to
MAKEFLAGS, which make 3.82 wrongly applies also upon re-invoking itself
after having updated auto.conf{,.cmd}.
Move the export statement past $(XEN_ROOT)/config/$(XEN_OS).mk inclusion
such that the variables already have their designated values at that
point, while retaining their initial origin up to the point they get
defined.
