It really is a mess because our option detection doesn't really work. I did:

ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC
  ifeq ($(call cc-option-yn,-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3),y)
        dummy := $(error "gcc supports -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3")
  endif
  ...

and doing:

$ make CC=gcc-4.8 HOSTCC=gcc-4.8 V=1 lib/test_fpu.ko

gives

lib/Makefile:110: *** "gcc supports -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3".  Stop.

That same compiler, however, says:

$ gcc-4.8 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 -c /tmp/foo.c
/tmp/foo.c:1:0: error: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 is not between 4 and 12

so I need to dig deep into cc-option* fun.

Or, I can be lazy and simply cut off all compiler versions to >= 8
and be done with it. If people wanna run selftests, they can upgrade
toolchain too...
