Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: disable depmod in cross-compile kernel build
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When building embedded systems in a cross-compile environment and
populating a target's file system image, we don't want to run the
depmod on the host as we may be building for a completely different
architecture. Since there's no such thing as a cross-depmod, we
just disable running depmod in the cross-compile case and we just
run depmod on the target at bootup.

Inspired by patches from Christian, Armin and Deepak.

This solves: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3881
