The patch titled scripts/ver_linux use 'gcc -dumpversion' has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was scripts-ver_linux-use-gcc-dumpversion.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: scripts/ver_linux use 'gcc -dumpversion' From: Gabriel C <nix.or.die@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases. Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something ) ver_linux will report random junk for these. Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.
