Because if they aren't necessary then they can be removed from gcc-common.h. There were missing headers on arm/arm64 and these archs are supported. I think this version check is unnecessary because gcc-plugin.sh also checks the missing headers. What is the problem on gcc-4.5/gcc-4.6? -- Emese -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
