Subject: [PATCH] scripts/ver_linux use 'gcc -dumpversion'
Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 20:36:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48346BA3.2050806@googlemail.com> (raw)


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.
