1 month ago Actually I think you can pass CC=gcc CPP=gcc AS=gcc LD=gcc OC=objcopy AR=gcc-ar to solve this, but would be good have native building on aarch64 just working.

1 month ago This wasn't an issue with 2.10.x has anyone tried to bisect it to see which commit broke it?

build: use new toolchain variables for tools
This change migrates the values of `CC`, `CPP`, `AS` and other toolchain
variables to the new `$(toolchain)-$(tool)` variables, which were
introduced by the toolchain refactor patch. These variables should be
equivalent to the values that they're replacing.

Hi this problem was discussed in https://lists.trustedfirmware.org/archives/list/tf-a@lists.trustedfirmware.org/thread/RV7Y4V3NBIDCFIV65UYXD4XTMNNV5QJP/
As mentioned above and in the ML , the usage is about providing CC variable. Would that be enough to fix build using TF-A v2.11 onwards? Or do we expect additional changes?

2 weeks ago Hi @eballetbo, @nullr0ute, sorry - I didn't see this. It should be sufficient to just pass CC=gcc - the rest of the toolchain will be picked up automatically, so you don't need to provide CPP, AS, etc.

1 week ago So it doesn't appear to work as suggested, I get the following if I just set CC=gcc when building:
+ make 'HOSTCC=gcc -O2 -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -fexceptions -g -grecord-gcc-switches -pipe -Wall -Wno-complain-wrong-lang -Werror=format-security -Wp,-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 -fstack-protector-strong -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-annobin-cc1 -mbranch-protection=standard -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer' CROSS_COMPILE= PLAT=axg bl31 make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: The configured AArch64 archiver could not be identified and may not be supported: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: aarch64-none-elf-gcc-ar make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: The default AArch64 archiver is: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: aarch64-none-elf-gcc-ar make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: The following tools are supported: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: - Arm® Compiler for Embeddedarmar make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: - LLVMllvm-ar make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: - GNUar make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344: The build system will treat this archiver as GNUar. make_helpers/toolchain.mk:344:

6 days ago Yes, it worked for me, thanks!
While cross compiling TF-A works without problems the toolchain helpers are not able to properly provide a toolchain set for native compilation or building on a aarch64 machine. It fails with the following error as is looking for a cross toolchain.
