In -mm a patch appeared that took for granted that GCC_VERSION was set. So it seems that people started to think that GCC_VERSION was part of the kbuild PAI and realibale. The best way to avoid this confusion was to kill GCC_VERSION alltogether. Andrew & I did it in most cases, and Adrian cleaned up parisc and killed the last instance og GCC_VERSION there. No functional changes, but a nice cleanup. Sam
