With the `RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT` rebuild support in place, now proc macros can depend on that instead of `core.o`. This means that both the `core` and `macros` crates can be built in parallel, and that touching `core.o` does not trigger a rebuild of the proc macros. This could be accomplished using the same approach as for `core` (i.e. depending directly on `include/config/RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT`). However, that is considered an implementation detail [1], and thus it is best to avoid it. Instead, let fixdep find a string that we explicitly write down in the source code for this purpose (like it is done for `include/linux/compiler-version.h`), which we can easily do (unlike for `core`) since this is our own source code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
