You should not invoke a shell command outside of a rule.
Please try to move it inside the defconfig context.

Reason for this query?
1/ avoid polluting the rest of the makefile
2/ it breaks doc compilation

Why it breaks doc?
Because it breaks "make -R showversion" which is called in doc/guides/conf.py.
Tip: CC is not always defined :)
