Moving compiler option tests to Kconfig means you need to re-run Kconfig when you update your compiler. All CC_HAS_... symbols and other symbols that depend on them must be re-calculated. It will be nice to detect the compiler update and automatically invoke silentoldconfig. This can be done by adding one environment. With this, silentoldconfig will add something like follows into include/config/auto.conf.cmd: ifneq "$(CC_VERSION_TEXT)" "gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.6) 5.4.0 20160609" include/config/auto.conf: FORCE endif CC_VERSION_TEXT contains the first line of "$(CC) --version". If this text is changed, silentoldconfig will be invoked.
