Unfortunately, this has the annoying side effect that kconfig forces a full reconfiguration, asking every question. Maybe there is a way around that but looking at the complexity of the Makefile, I'm scared to mess with it. What I did in the end was to prepend the following to PATH: /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/7.3.0: I use a pretty complex script for building kernels, so adding this to the script was small potatoes. And indeed, after a reboot I see I have full mitigation against spectre_v2. Now what about spectre_v1? -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
