 	In the above example, -Wno-unused-but-set-variable will be added to
 	KBUILD_CFLAGS only if gcc really accepts it.
 
-    cc-ifversion
-	cc-ifversion tests the version of $(CC) and equals the fourth parameter
-	if version expression is true, or the fifth (if given) if the version
-	expression is false.
+    gcc-min-version
+	gcc-min-version tests if the value of $(CONFIG_GCC_VERSION) is greater than
+	or equal to the provided value and evaluates to y if so.
 
 	Example::
 
-		#fs/reiserfs/Makefile
-		ccflags-y := $(call cc-ifversion, -lt, 0402, -O1)
+		cflags-$(call gcc-min-version, 70100) := -foo
 
-	In this example, ccflags-y will be assigned the value -O1 if the
-	$(CC) version is less than 4.2.
-	cc-ifversion takes all the shell operators:
-	-eq, -ne, -lt, -le, -gt, and -ge
-	The third parameter may be a text as in this example, but it may also
-	be an expanded variable or a macro.
+	In this example, cflags-y will be assigned the value -foo if $(CC) is gcc and
+	$(CONFIG_GCC_VERSION) is >= 7.1.
+
+    clang-min-version
+	clang-min-version tests if the value of $(CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION) is greater
+	than or equal to the provided value and evaluates to y if so.
+
+	Example::
+
+		cflags-$(call clang-min-version, 110000) := -foo
+
+	In this example, cflags-y will be assigned the value -foo if $(CC) is clang
+	and $(CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION) is >= 11.0.0.
