4.4.103+ headers are wrong

[Ransetsu]

So I installed Tinkeros_debian v2.0.7 and installed the headers for it by doing dpkg -i <headerfile.deb> on the deb file you guys provide, but all the executables in /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.103+/scripts are 64-bit executables when the OS is 32-bit. Both the OS and the headers are fresh installs. As a result I can't run make to compile anything. make results in a "gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mgeneral-regs-only' and "make ARCH=arm" errors out with "/bin/sh: 1: ./scripts/recordmcount: Exec format error".

I was able to fix this by going to "/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.103+" and running make ARCH=arm scrips which threw an error, but seems to have recompiled all the executables in scripts. Then I was finally able to compile by running make ARCH=arm. Just running make still does not work. Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what is wrong here, but I don't think this is working as intended.

Hi,
As I know, there should be little executable files in the kernel header, all of them should be shell script, perl, python script and so many header files. May I know why you need to run the executable files in the kernel headers? It should be no necessary to run/recompile the kernel header files if you just want to build your own kernel modules.

I'm not explicitly trying to run them. when i try and run make ARCH=arm to build the pf_ring kernel module it tries to run recordmcount (which is in /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.103+/scripts) and fails because it is not a 32-bit executable.
If you would like the try and reproduce what I did:
fresh v2.0.7 os install and run:
apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt full-upgrade
wget https://github.com/TinkerBoard/debian_kernel/releases/download/2.0.7/linux-headers-4.4.103+_4.4.103+-1_armhf.deb

dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.103+_4.4.103+-1_armhf.deb
apt install build-essential bison flex libnuma-dev
git clone https://github.com/ntop/PF_RING.git
cd PF_RING/kernel
make *which errored out with "gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mgeneral-regs-only"
so i tried:
make ARCH=arm *which erroed out with "/bin/sh: 1: ./scripts/recordmcount: Exec format error" because it was a 64-bit executable.
so then i recompiled everything in /usr/svr/linux-headers-4.4.103+/scripts" to 32-bit with:
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.103+ && make ARHC=arm scripts
and after that i was able to build the pf_ring kernel module with:
make ARCH=arm
make on it's own is not compiling things correctly for some reason.

Thanks. We will update a new header files for 32 bit.

The kernel header has been updated.
