Hi Gerd,

These patches are a great idea but I don't know if we can take GPLv2 code like that. Are they even mergeable into the main edk2 repo (as it's not compatible with BSD-2-clause)?

Thanks,

Pedro

The linux kernel has a bunch of useful macros to check whenever a given

BaseTools: import compiler check macros from linux kernel
BaseTools: adapt comniler checks mmacros for edk2
