[LLVMdev] The make install fails in cross-compile mode

[Atanasyan, Simon]

Hi,

I cross-compile llvm/clang. The build platform is x86_64-linux-gnu. The host platform is mips-linux-gnu. Llvm and clang built successfully but "make install" shows the following error:

% make install
llvm[0]: Installing Release+Asserts /home/simon/work/install/clang/bin/llvm-tblgen
strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `/home/simon/work/install/clang/bin/llvm-tblgen'
/usr/bin/install: strip process terminated abnormally
make: *** [/home/simon/work/install/clang/bin/llvm-tblgen] Error 1

The problem is that "install" is run with "-s" argument to strip symbols but always uses default "strip" executable even in cross-compile mode. To fix the bug I check for the "strip" executable in the configure.ac and provide the result to the "install" command using "--strip-program" argument. The patches are attached to this email.

WBR
