[PATCH v2] tests/vpci: Use $(CC) instead of $(HOSTCC)
Posted by Michal Orzel 8 months, 1 week ago 
When cross-compiling, HOSTCC can be different than CC. With the recent
`install` rule addition, this would put a binary of a wrong format in
the destdir (e.g. building tests on x86 host for Arm target).

Take the opportunity to adjust the `run` rule to only run the test if
HOSTCC is CC, else print a warning message.

Changes in v2:

I'm sorry for being pedantic, but the two can also be different for other
reasons (and I'd like to avoid this becoming a bad precedent, then getting
copied elsewhere). Both may target the same architecture. Hence I'd like
to suggest ...

... s/cannot/will not/ here. Alternatively, -dumpmachine output of both
could be compared, yet even that would leave us with false negatives
(e.g. x86_64-suse-linux vs x86_64-pc-linux-gnu as I can see for my
system compiler vs the ones I built myself).

Would you be fine with:

"Depending on the build environment, HOSTCC can be different than CC.
With ..."

And the s/cannot/will not/ adjustment below?

If so, I don't have any further objections:

Yeah, that would be good enough for now.

If this is just s/cannot/will not/ I hope this can be done on commit.
