Heh. The docs clearly weren't in sync before either.
Maybe we should add a
Fixes: 5429ef62bcf3 ("compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for
kernel builds to 4.8")
to your patch too.
I only grepped for the obvious GCC_VERSION string. Which is presumably
what everybody else who has ever done this have also grepped for,
although in all fairness Will at least caught the one in
Documentation/process/changes.rst when he updated it last time.

uh, yes.
Should I resend it?

Nah. I'm just wondering if I should apply it directly or let it go through Jon.

Either is fine with me; I can add the Fixes: tag. If you want it in
5.8-rc, it's maybe best if you just take it directly; I don't have another
5.8 pull in the works at the moment.

I took that as an ack, and applied it.
