CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
by olivier_be from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PVVT)
Hello,
I recently compiled kernel 5.15.164 to replace the default installed version 5.15.161. Everything went well and the kernel works without problems. However, when executing the "make modules_install" command, on the first line was written this:
CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
This did not prevent the modules from being installed, but I would like to know if this was normal and if I can deactivate the CONFIG_X86_X32 option in the future? Or is there something else to do?
Why was this warning not displayed at compile step?
Thanks in advance for your advice
Olivier
