Commit 21c54b774744 ("kconfig: show compiler version text in the top
comment") was intended to detect the compiler upgrade, but Geert
reported a breakage on the m68k build.
The compiler upgrade is detected by the change of the environment
variable, CC_VERSION_TEXT, which contains the first line of the output
from $(CC) --version. Currently, this works well when CROSS_COMPILE
is given via the environment variable or the Make command line.
However, some architectures such as m68k can specify CROSS_COMPILE
from arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile as well. In this case, "make ARCH=m68k"
ends up with endless syncconfig loop.
$ make ARCH=m68k defconfig
*** Default configuration is based on 'multi_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ make ARCH=m68k
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
