[PATCH] ver_linux+kgcc

[PATCH] ver_linux+kgcc

[J . A . Magallon]

Hello.

In short: scripts/ver_linux can lie about the cc version used to build
kernel. With recent add for the detection of gcc727, kgcc anc cc, kernel
can be compiled with one cc and ver_linux report one other.

This can help people reporting hangs or bugs, because usually give the
output of ver_linux and it usually is wrong about gcc used for kernel.

BTW, I have added the GNU make version info present in 2.4 but not in 2.2.
NOTE: the cc misversioning also happens in 2.4
