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.

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
