I've been experimenting with enabling CONFIG_GCC_PLUGINS in the kernel since I've heard some people express interest in stackleak (I'm interested as well). a gcc plugin gets built as an .so file for use during compilation. This means we need to package this .so file as part of kernel-devel for building external modules. This is easy to do but it also now introduces a tighter restriction on the toolchain used for building modules since gcc will refuse to load a plugin and fail to build the module if the versions don't match. Arguably, there's always been a requirement to use the same toolchain version but there may have been some flexibility for forcing it. Can anyone see major problems with requiring the same toolchain version for building external modules as the kernel?
