This is kind of concerning though. It would be nice to somehow store KCLAGS in the config and warn if it changes unexpectedly. This can be a problem not only for OOT modules, but for regular kernel builds which have a .config copied from somewhere. Because of the toolchain-dependent kconfig options, features can silently disappear if the toolchain doesn't support them, due to a different compiler version, or even a missing library. > [2] > > As for this patch, it is wrong to do this check in the Makefile > parse stage. > > "make M=... clean" > "make M=... help" > > etc. will fail. > Such targets do not require the compiler in the first place. > > This check must be done before starting building something, > > Also, this patch is not applicable. > gcc-version.sh and clang-version.sh do not exist. > See linux-next.
