Since commit f2f02ebd8f ("kbuild: improve cc-option to clean up all
temporary files"), running 'make kernelversion' in a read-only source
tree emits a bunch of warnings:
mkdir: cannot create directory '.tmp_12345': Permission denied
No-build targets such as kernelversion, clean, help, etc. do not
need to evaluate $(call cc-option,) or friends. Skip Makefile.compiler
so $(call cc-option,) becomes no-op.
This not only fixes the warnings, but also runs non-build targets much
faster.
Basically, all installation targets should also be non-build targets.
Unfortunately, vdso_install requires the compiler because it builds
vdso before installation. This is a problem that must be fixed by a
separate patch.

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.
