Do we want GCC support back for 5.9?

   https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200618093118.247375-1-elver@google.com

I was hoping it could go into 5.9, because it makes a big difference
in terms of usability as it provides more compiler choice. The only
significant change for GCC support is the addition of the checking of
(CC_IS_GCC && (....)).

Thanks,
