- Say Y here if you are compiling the kernel on a different
- architecture than the one it is intended to run on. This is just a
- convenience option which will select the appropriate value for
- the CROSS_COMPILE make variable which otherwise has to be passed on
- the command line from mips-linux-, mipsel-linux-, mips64-linux- and
- mips64el-linux- as appropriate for a particular kernel configuration.
- You will have to pass the value for CROSS_COMPILE manually if the
- name prefix for your tools is different.
+ This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
+ to print messages very early in the bootup process.
+
+ This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
+ early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
+ it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
+ doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
+ unless you want to debug such a crash.

+config CMDLINE_BOOL
+ bool "Built-in kernel command line"

+ help
+ For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
+ by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
+ it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
+ default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
+ For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
+ command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
+ should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
+ in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
+
+ The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
+ line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
+ command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
+
+ Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
+ the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.

- If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the MIPS
- kernel using gdb. This enlarges your kernel image disk size by

- If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and

If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops. See
