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.
