[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] Makefile: add check of binaries architecture

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2017-03-12 16:06 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> As shown recently by the firejail example, it is easy to miss that a
> package builds and installs binaries without actually cross-compiling
> them: they are built for the host architecture instead of the target
> architecture.

That is not possible in all situations.

For example, I have a board here with a kind of co-processor of a
different architecture; the firmware for that co-processor is loaded
at runtime. It is an ELF file, and it is in target/.

So I don't think it is possible to check that all ELF files are for the
Buildroot-known target.

We already discussed this a while ago and came to the same conclusiong
back then.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
