This is a port of commit4fe4a6374c("MIPS: Only fiddle with CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler'") to LoongArch. We have originally guarded fiddling with CHECKFLAGS in our arch Makefile by checking for the CONFIG_LOONGARCH variable, not set for targets such as `distclean', etc. that neither include `.config' nor use the compiler. Starting from commit805b2e1d42("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed") we have had a generic `need-compiler' variable explicitly telling us if the compiler will be used and thus its capabilities need to be checked and expressed in the form of compilation flags. If this variable is not set, then `make' functions such as `cc-option' are undefined, causing all kinds of weirdness to happen if we expect specific results to be returned. It doesn't cause problems on LoongArch now. But as a guard we replace the check for CONFIG_LOONGARCH with one for `need-compiler' instead, so as to prevent the compiler from being ever called for CHECKFLAGS when not needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
