[PATCH] selftests/powerpc: Handle Makefile for unrecognized option

Harish harish at linux.ibm.com
Tue Sep 24 04:14:20 AEST 2019


On older distributions like Sles12SP5 gcc does not recognize
-no-pie option making the powerpc selftests build to fail

Fixes the following:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-no-pie’
