From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 52cc02b910284d6bddba46cce402044ab775f314 upstream. LLVM_IAS is the user interface to set the -(no-)integrated-as flag, and it should be used only for that purpose. LLVM_IAS is checked in some places to determine the assembler type, but it is not precise. For example, $ make CC=gcc LLVM_IAS=1 ... will use the GNU assembler (i.e. binutils) since LLVM_IAS=1 is effective only when $(CC) is clang. Of course, 'CC=gcc LLVM_IAS=1' is an odd combination, but the build system can be more robust against such insane input. Commit ba64beb17493a ("kbuild: check the minimum assembler version in Kconfig") introduced CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU/LLVM, which is more precise because Kconfig checks the version string from the assembler in use.
