Currently, the updated compiler is detected only when building the kernel.
External modules should be built by the same compiler as used for building the kernel.
If a different compiler is used, different options will be specified by CONFIG_CC_HAS_... options from the .config
Should this be checked? Or, is it just "Don't do it" thing?
If desired, CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT is cached in .config then it will be possible to compare it with $(shell $(CC) --version) when building external modules.
