Hello, It looks like I already know the answer to this one... ;-)
I'm guessing it isn't possible to specify the compiler version in a recipe? That's probably way too late in the parse stage? There are some vendor Linux kernels for some BSPs that are old enough to pre-date the: fatal error: linux/compiler-gcc5.h: No such file or directory issue. Which means we have to rely on users reading the README and updating their conf/local.conf files to include GCCVERSION = "4.9%" Unfortunately that process is error-prone. It would be great to have that occur automatically. In other words: if you want to use the community/default/upstream kernel then use the latest compiler (but you won't have accelerated graphics). If you want accelerated graphics then you have to PREFER an older kernel *and* specify which version of gcc to use in your conf/local.conf. Can anyone think of a clever trick for this one? Are BSP maintainers patching their old kernels to support post-gcc-5.0 versions?
