'make headers' does not create all required compiler-gcc headers

[manuel-pietsch]

When running the regression tests with ./scripts/update_suite.rb on my system, multiple tests complain that the file linux-headers/include/linux/compiler-gcc12.h is missing. This persists even after running make header.

I am using zsh, gcc version 12 and a manjaro linux distribution (which is based on arch).
The first problem seems to be that compgen -c gcc- in zsh does not filter for gcc- and outputs all possible commands.
If I am running bash -c "compgen -c gcc-", the output looks like this:

gcc-ar
gcc-nm
gcc-ranlib
gcc-ar
gcc-nm
gcc-ranlib

This does, besides including everything twice, not contain the version numbers at the end like expected.
As a workaround I have copied linux-headers/include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h manually and everything seems to be working now.

The script is supposed to always run under bash though:

analyzer/make.sh

Line 1 in 2f5afc2

#!/usr/bin/env bash

Is that not happening for you?

I guess Manjaro/Arch doesn't install the gcc-12 symlink then, so this hacky version detection heuristic doesn't work. Instead of coming up with new hacks on top of the existing ones, maybe our linux headers should be updated to something newer than GCC 5...

You are right, it does run in bash. I guess I was just confused that when trying the commands manually the output was not what the script expected.

From opam-ci related things: this also seems to be an issue in ocaml/opam:fedora-42-ocaml-4.14, which has GCC 15 now.
