    kbuild: disable depmod in cross-compile kernel build · 50a8ec31
    Sam Ravnborg authored
    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.
