Andreas said the error happened when the new compiler expanded a __bultin_strcmp call to a strcmp call. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87in513wbt.fsf@xxxxxxxxx/ The new compiler seems to assume that a strcmp symbol exists in the final link. I don't see how that kind of assumption is valid here. So I think the real bug is the lack of -ffreestanding. That omission allows the compiler to assume that libc is available in the final link. (At least, I imagine that's what the compiler authors had in mind.) Anyway, the use of -ffreestanding certainly avoids this optimization.
Could someone whip up a patch so I can add it to the Debian package of the kernel? Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.
