Ok, somebody please remind me, and let's just try this early in the
5.18 merge window.
Because at least for me, doing
- -std=gnu89
+ -std=gnu11 -Wno-shift-negative-value
for KBUILD_CFLAGS works fine both in my gcc and clang builds. But
that's obviously just one version of each.
(I left the host compiler flags alone - I have this memory of us
having had issues with people having old host compilers and wanting
headers for tools still build with gcc-4)
