It might be useful to see what compiler version was used to compile u-boot.

I understand your intention, but I'm not really happy with it.
So far, the version_string is mostly architecture and system independent. I haven't seen any comments about this, but I can imagine that we want such information globally.
On the other hand, that would require changes to many files, and the gcc __VERSION__ string is pretty long on some systems, which may cause additional problems.
I also doubt that we need this information with each boot message (where it just slows down booting).
Would it not be sufficient to add this to the code of do_version() so we can get this information when we want it, i. e. when running the "version" command?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
