--skip-gcc-check
Skips check that ensures that the system gcc version and
the gcc version that built the kernel match. Skipping this
check is not recommended, but is useful if the exact gcc
version is not available or is not easily installed. Use
only when confident that the two versions of gcc output
identical objects for a given target. Otherwise, use of
this option might result in unexpected changed objects
being detected.
