GNU compiler version used to compile a kernel

I need to build a device driver using the same version of GNU compiler as was used to compile the kernel. How could I know the version of Gnu ompiler that was used to compile my kernel?

Hi cricballa, Welcome to lq. I think this will do it.

Code:

peacedog@peacedog:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.21.5-smp (root@midas) (gcc version 4.1.2) #2 SMP Tue Jun 19 14:58:11 CDT 2007

I hope that's what you're looking for.
Good luck. ;-)

Thanks Peacedog. This was it. I get my version numbers.
