5 | help | |
6 | This is used in unclear ways: | |
7 | ||
8 | - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated | |
9 | The 'default' property references the environment variable, | |
10 | CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd. | |
11 | When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked. | |
12 | ||
f9c8bc46 | 13 | - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated |
ce6ed1c4 | 14 | include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment |
0e0345b7 | 15 | line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the |
ce6ed1c4 MY |
16 | auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig |
17 | will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt. | |

238 | The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. |
239 | Several compression algorithms are available, which differ | |
