Since adding the gcc plugin development headers is required for the gcc plugin support, we should ease into this new kernel build dependency more slowly. For now, disable the gcc plugins under COMPILE_TEST so that all*config builds will skip it.
[ This might be a bit off-topic - Feel free to answer ] Hi, I want to try that new "GCC-plugin" feature. Do you have a Git repo for "easy-testing"? Does the kernel's build-system check for installed "gcc-plugin development headers"? Which GCC versions support "gcc-plugin" feature? I am here on Ubuntu/precise AMD64 and have gcc-4.6.4 and gcc-4.9.2. [ Optional ] What about the topic and support for "LLVM/Clang and hardening" of the Linux-kernel? Regards, - Sedat -
