From 659eb157a55666bf379f5362238a86d855e262e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2021 10:39:28 +0200 Subject: configure: Fix endianess test with LTO If a user is trying to compile QEMU with link-time optimization enabled by running the configure script like this: .../configure --extra-cflags="-flto" then the endianess test is failing since the magic values do not show up in the intermediate object files there. If the host is a big endian machine (like s390x), the QEMU binary is then unusable since the corresponding variable "bigendian" is pre-initialized with "no". To fix this issue, we should rather create a full binary and look for the magic strings there instead. And we really should not continue the build if the endianess check failed, to make it clear right from the start that something went wrong here, thus let's also add some "exit 1" statements here after emitting the error message.
