this should not happen (since v5.17-rc2) as commit 129ab0d2d9f3 ("kbuild: do not quote string values in include/config/auto.conf", 2021-12-14) removes double quotes from `include/config/auto.conf`. Do you still hit this issue?
Kind regards,
Nicolas

This happens to me when I try to compile vmware kernel modules with mainline kernel from elrepo on AlamLinux8. Since it is coming from the Makefile of the Kernel, I suppose this is the proper upstream tracker to be used. Please advise if not. This is the potion of the Makefile that fails (line 1717..) : prepare: @if [ "$(CC_VERSION_TEXT)" != "$(CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT)" ]; then \ echo >&2 "warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel"; \ echo >&2 " The kernel was built by: $(CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT)"; \ echo >&2 " You are using: $(CC_VERSION_TEXT)"; \ fi I don't know where CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT is defined. Which apparently contains "...", but shouldn't.
