| |
As Kees suggests, do so provides developers with two useful pieces of information: - The kernel build was attempting to use GCC. (Maybe they accidentally poked the wrong configs in a CI.) - They need 4.9 or better. ("Upgrade to what version?" doesn't need to be dug out of documentation, headers, etc.)
