drop tools/lkl/bin binaries #539
Comments

same as #538, I'm fine if we keep this in the lkl repository or move it to somewhere else. IIRC, the original intention on those supplemental binary files is to remove in future, when upstream toolset (binutils, etc) accepts our fixes. So, those are temporary one and never planned to upstream to Linux mainline. |

Some Windows and arm binaries are carried under tools/lkl/bin that needn't be. Delete them and only retain the bin/lkl-hijack.sh wrapper script. This will break Windows and Android builds / CI unless $PATH is updated to point to similar binaries. Plain builds on Linux should still be fine. A bin/README.txt file is added to document the directory's PATH-precedence use for BSD builds. Link: lkl/linux#539 Acked-by: David Disseldorp <[email protected]>

The opaque Android (ld.gold) and Windows (as, ld, objcopy) binaries currently carried under tools/lkl/bin/ are very difficult to verify and audit. IMO they should be dropped in favour of some form of environmental dependency.
