Description

Various automated build/test services use a specific toolchain build for all tests, and have no way to know if the toolchain has been updated and requires a rebuild. This, in turn, means manual intervention is needed for these services every time the toolchain version changes. (unless various hacks involving searching the output text are used, but these are highly suboptimal).

A new make target to check if the built toolchain is completely up to date with the current coreboot versions would be very useful.

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

This patch is the start:
It checks gcc, clang, buildtools, and iasl.

This was completed, but seems like it may now be broken again.

The command 'make test-toolchain' should tell you if the toolchain version you are using is current, but currently reports that the toolchain is up-to-date even when that's not the case.
