[PATCH v5 28/31] gcc-plugins: move GCC version check for PowerPC to Kconfig

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon May 28 2018 - 05:26:52 EST


For PowerPC, GCC 5.2 is the requirement for GCC plugins. Move the
version check to Kconfig so that the GCC plugin menus will be hidden
if an older compiler is in use.
