Upstream containers with compiler toolchains from kernel.org


Upstream containers with compiler toolchains from kernel.org

This also applies to cutting edge kernel development, for example with features in linux-next moving hand-in-hand with particular compiler changes - typically Clang and more recently Rust, but also RISC-V support and new architectures among other topics. Still keeping in mind the same concerns of avoiding vendor lock-in and using standard tools, hosting a dedicated registry.kernel.org would seem to make more sense than relying on Docker Hub or GitLab. There are a few more rough edges: using the-j option causes a submake warning, only one target can be specified per command line (e.g. no bzImage modules) and interrupting the build with Ctrl-C quite doesn’t work reliably (related to the docker -it issue).
