There are a number of tools (bpftool, selftests), that require a
"bootstrap" build. Here, a bootstrap build is a build host variant of
a target. E.g., assume that you're performing a bpftool cross-build on
x86 to riscv, a bootstrap build would then be an x86 variant of
bpftool. The typical way to perform the host build variant, is to pass
"ARCH=" in a sub-make. However, if a variable has been set with a
command argument, then ordinary assignments in the makefile are
ignored.
This side-effect results in that ARCH, and variables depending on ARCH
are not set. Workaround by overriding ARCH to the host arch, if ARCH
is empty.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
