Yes, I plan to merge scripts/ld-version.sh and scripts/lld-version.sh
in a similar way, and move the version check as well
once the following cleanups land in the upstream:

Nice!

Yes, but that would require higher level acks,
and consult x86 and intel folks.

Please let this patch land first,
then we will discuss whether ICC is still used or not.

I was not implying to delay this patch -- rather to start an
independent RFC to discuss it. This patch should go in regardless of
that, of course :-)

Cheers,
