From 4df4185a596c7301be0d8e1fdf691ec03e57cd23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 15:18:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/purgatory: use approprate -m64/-32 build flag for arch/x86/purgatory Thomas reported that build of x86_64 kernel was failing for him. He is using 32bit tool chain. Problem is that while compiling purgatory, I have not specified -m64 flag. And 32bit tool chain must be assuming -m32 by default. Following is error message.
