Revision 5f6e0fe01b6b33894cf6f61b359ab5a6d2b7674e authored by Masahiro Yamada on 10 June 2021, 02:03:31 UTC, committed by Helge Deller on 01 September 2021, 19:52:02 UTC
Commit 23243c1ace9f ("arch: use cross_compiling to check whether it is
a cross build or not") broke 64-bit parisc builds on 32-bit parisc
systems.

Helge mentioned:
  - 64-bit parisc userspace is not supported yet [1]
  - hppa gcc does not support "-m64" flag [2]

That means, parisc developers working on a 32-bit parisc machine need
to use hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc (cross compiler) for building the 64-bit
parisc kernel.

After the offending commit, gcc is used in such a case because
both $(SRCARCH) and $(SUBARCH) are 'parisc', hence cross_compiling is
unset.

A correct way is to introduce ARCH=parisc64 because building the 64-bit
parisc kernel on a 32-bit parisc system is not exactly a native build,
but rather a semi-cross build.
