From: He Zhe <zhe.he@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Instead of sliently emptying CONFIG_PLUGIN_HOSTCC which is the dependency of a series of configurations, the following error message would be easier for users to find something is wrong and what is happening. scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h:5:22: fatal error: bversion.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
