please include in each distributed kernel version a file with the output of scripts/linux-ver, so, that the user might see under what environment the kernel was built and tested. All info that I found about compiler versions was years old.

kind regards

Hi,

the compiler version is actually included in the VERMAGIC already ;)
also if you type "dmesg | head -2" you get to see the full version of
the compiler that was used.... What more would you want?

This requires that the dmesg buffer has not yet wrapped.
