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.
