[PATCH] Documentation: kbuild: note CONFIG_DEBUG_EFI in reproducible builds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



CONFIG_EFI_DEBUG embeds absolute file paths into object files, which
makes the resulting vmlinux specific to the build environment.

Add a note about this in reproducible-builds.rst
