There is no more direct user of this macro; it is only used by cc-ifversion. Calling this macro is not efficient since it invokes the compiler to get the compiler version. CONFIG_GCC_VERSION is already calculated in the Kconfig stage, so Makefile can reuse it. Here is a note about the slight difference between cc-version and CONFIG_GCC_VERSION: When using Clang, cc-version is evaluated to '0402' because Clang defines __GNUC__ and __GNUC__MINOR__, and looks like GCC 4.2 in the version point of view. On the other hand, CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=0 when $(CC) is clang. There are currently two users of cc-ifversion: arch/mips/loongson64/Platform arch/powerpc/Makefile They are not affected by this change. The format of cc-version is <major><minor>, while CONFIG_GCC_VERSION <major><minor><patch>. I adjusted cc-ifversion for the difference of the number of digits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
