Kernel compiling issue?

[ozsouth]

I recently noticed a new issue with kernel compiling. I have been using GCC 9.2.0, 8.3.0 etc, found in devx of Bionicpup64 (8.0) & ScPup64 (20.01 & earlier). When these pups are used to compile with kernel-kit, LD version is not specified, so are relatively generic. ScPup64-20.06 (& Lx) devx uses GCC 9.3.0, & when used to compile kernels, LD version SPECIFIC to that pup is used & I believe this will mean kernels so compiled likely specific to that pup, if one compiles drivers, etc. Please correct me if wrong.

Hi [mention]ozsouth[/mention]
I compile my 64-bit kernels with 9.3.0
To test I put the latest 5.7.2 into BionicPup32 .... most extreme test I could envisage lol
It worked just fine..........
Compiling drivers may be another matter....

@peebee I think @ozsouth 's point is that a particular version of the linker (LD) is mentioned and that may cause an issue if you want to compile a module; whether it be 'in tree' or 3rd party (nvidia, wl etc).

Is there a way to NOT specify LD_VERSION? Omitting it or using 'is not set' doesn't exclude it.
