Paul Gortmaker reported a regression in the GCC version check. [1]
If you use GCC 4.8, the build breaks before showing the error message
"error Sorry, your version of GCC is too old - please use 4.9 or newer."
I do not want to apply his fix-up since it implies we would not be able
to remove any cc-option test. Anyway, I admit checking the GCC version
in <linux/compiler-gcc.h> is too late.
Almost at the same time, Linus also suggested to move the compiler
version error to Kconfig time. [2]
I unified the two similar scripts, gcc-version.sh and clang-version.sh
into cc-version.sh. The old scripts invoked the compiler multiple times
(3 times for gcc-version.sh, 4 times for clang-version.sh). I refactored
the code so the new one invokes the compiler just once, and also tried
my best to use shell-builtin commands where possible.
The new script runs faster.
$ time ./scripts/clang-version.sh clang
120000
real 0m0.029s
user 0m0.012s
sys 0m0.021s
$ time ./scripts/cc-version.sh clang
Clang 120000
real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.006s
sys 0m0.004s
cc-version.sh also shows an error message if the compiler is too old:
$ make defconfig CC=clang-9
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
***
*** Compiler is too old.
*** Your Clang version: 9.0.1
*** Minimum Clang version: 10.0.1
***
scripts/Kconfig.include:46: Sorry, this compiler is not supported.
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:81: defconfig] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:602: defconfig] Error 2
The new script takes care of ICC because we have <linux/compiler-intel.h>
although I am not sure if building the kernel with ICC is well-supported.
