Re: [PATCH v7 7/7] Add Propeller configuration for kernel build

Thanks Nathan for finding this out!

We changed the propeller option with this patch:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/110039

Currently, this patch is only in the ToT clang (v20) and not yet
released in v19.
I'll add a compiler version check to the patch: if the clang version >= 20,
use the new option.

If this patch is later released in v19.x clang, I'll have to update the check
accordingly.

If I don't hear objections, I'll send a fixup on top of Masahiro's branch.

Thanks,

-Rong
