78b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada
88b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	  - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
98b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    The 'default' property references the environment variable,
108b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
118b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
128b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada
13f9c8bc46SBhaskar Chowdhury	  - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
14ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
150e0345b7SAlexey Dobriyan	    line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
16ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
17ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

19095796d396SJeff Xu

19145796d396SJeff Xu	  implies that it does not require the remapping of the system
