Yeah!

I was looking at cc-ifversion, which has a bug in that it specifically
uses CONFIG_GCC_VERSION. I think I sent a series maybe a year or two
ago trying to remove all users of that macro; I think most landed but
not all and I never pursued it to completion. Also, I think there's
one user remaining in the AMDGPU drivers; looks like they're been
reducing their dependency on that SIMD hack I wrote for them years ago
after propagating it to parts of their tree, but one user remains.
Perhaps I can just open code it there, or replace it with something
new like you suggest.

Such a macro would need to consider whether CC_IS_GCC vs CC_IS_CLANG;
I could imagine we might need a version check for both, or just one of
the two compilers.

Ugh, logical OR in GNU make is supported by use of the filter macro...yuck.

ifneq ($(filter y, $(call gcc-min-version, 110000), $(call
clang-min-version, 140000),)
# add gcc-11+, clang-14+ flag
endif

or maybe as you suggest:

ifneq ($(call cc-min-version,110000,140000),)
# add gcc-11+, clang-14+ flag
endif

where the newly minted cc-min-version is implemented in terms of the
newly minted gcc-min-version and clang-min-version. Then I can use
cc-min-version in this series, and replace cc-ifversion in AMDGPU with
gcc-min-version. That way, we create composable wrappers that are
readable and reusable.
