Subject: scripts/ver_linux use 'gcc -dumpversion'
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=656a3f797889dafcce2f5b8b222ad66e9974b6f7;p=linux-beck.git

scripts/ver_linux use 'gcc -dumpversion'

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.
