Right now there is no way to provide additional cflags/ldflags when building tools/vm binaries. And using eg. make CFLAGS=<options> will override the CFLAGS being set in the Makefile, making the build fail since it requires the include of the ../lib dir (for libapi). This change then allows you to specify: CFLAGS=<options> LDFLAGS=<options> make V=1 -C tools/vm And the options will be correctly appended as can be seen from the make output.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
