98b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    The 'default' property references the environment variable,
108b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.

14ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
15ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    line so fixdep adds include/config/cc/version/text.h into the
