Both applied to linux-kbuild. Thanks.

This patch breaks the compilation on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 in fact:

The problem seems to be that the minimum version of env that supports '-S' is 8.30.

Reverting the patch fixes the issue.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report, I was told the same by Krzysztof Kozlowski (added
to Ccs) earlier today, I don't have any "old" machines like this around
so didn't notice when I checked unfortunately :(


I've suggested either just reverting this (I'll keep my local
workaround) or going through /bin/sh which is always safe like the
following patch -- leaving this to maintainers.

Thanks!

This patch results in:

/usr/bin/env: invalid option -- 'S'
Try '/usr/bin/env --help' for more information.
init/Kconfig:39: syntax error
init/Kconfig:38: invalid statement
scripts/kconfig/Makefile:80: recipe for target 'defconfig' failed

env (GNU coreutils) 8.28

or any other version of "env" which doesn't support "-S".

Why bother with awk?
I think you can do it all in a shell function.
Something like:
	read line
	line=${line##*)}
	line=${line##*version }
	IFS='.-'
	set $line
	echo $(($1*100000000 + $2*1000000 + $3*10000))

That will work on any recent shell.

I would suggest to revert the patch for now since we are close to the merge
window and then maybe in -rc1 start discussing a better solution.

What do you think?

I wanted to keep the patch minimal, I'm not opposed to rewriting but
that always potentially has more impact (although as you say, this
script is simple enough)

Works for me.

As far as I can see the patch is only in -next, as said earlier I'm in
favor of just dropping the patch until a decision is taken for the next
merge window (or the one after that); there's no hurry for me and
nothing to revert.

That was a very quick rewrite of what I think the awk script did.
However I think the version is in the last space-separated word.
So you can do (untested):
	read line
	set line
	shift $(($#-1))
	OIFS="$IFS"
	IFS='.-'
	set $1
	IFS="$OIFS"
	echo $(($1*100000000 + $2*1000000 + $3*10000))

Now, if you want a version that will work with a real bourne shell
(that doesn't support $((expr)) or $(x##b} it gets more interesting.

Yes, but for now, revert first.
It might even be that the whole file isn't needed.
If it only used from a Makefile it can be gone with gmake commands.
