From 9d90161ca5c7234e80e14e563d198f322ca0c1d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 19:38:29 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64: Force ELFv2 when building with LLVM linker The LLVM linker does not support ELFv1 at all, so BE kernels must be built with ELFv2. The LLD version check was added to be conservative, LLD simply fails to link ELFv1 entirely, effectively requiring LLD >= 15 and ELFv2 for BE builds. Instead remove that restriction until proven otherwise (LLD 14.0 links a booting ELFv2 BE vmlinux for me). The minimum GNU binutils has increased such that ELFv2 is always supported, so remove that check while we're here.
