That's a debian-specific thing...
Yep and he is running Ubuntu which is a derivative of Debian ? His .config just told me this :-)
But valid point will keep things generic in future.
CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0"

That's not what I said.
What I *said* was "if you're a newbie who's all "ZOMG I'm going to accidentally break it"
maybe you shouldn't be a kernel hacker. :)
So he breaks it. Then comes the fun part when he learns how to fix it :-)

Oh, there's people like Greg KH who know a lot more than I do. He's also
*paid* to know a lot more than I do. :) After 4 decades in IT, I've just gotten
good at debugging and knowing where to start checking for more data on
something.
Why don't any of us ever get paid ? Ouch...
