This is now commit 21c54b774744719c ("kconfig: show compiler version text
in the top comment") upstream.
This commit broke cross-compilation for me:
$ make ARCH=m68k
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
...
with O=:
GEN ./Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
GEN ./Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
GEN ./Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
GEN ./Makefile
...
.config gained (both with/without O=):
#
# Compiler: gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9) 5.4.0 20160609
#
which is definitely wrong when cross-compiling for m68k.
Reverting the commit, and fixing up the conflicts, fixes the issue for me
Do you have a clue?
Thanks!
