Here are config elements appended to
.config based on hsdk_defconfig
------------------------<8--------------
CONFIG_CRYPTO_RSA=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AUTHENC=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256=m
CONFIG_CRYPTO_ARC4=y
CONFIG_CRC32_SARWATE=y
------------------------<8--------------

The issue appeared because GCC 7 was used to build kernel.
GCC 7 does more testing in particular when building with "-O3"
trying to use either __builtin_trap(), or if it does not exist?
in port for this architecture (ARC will have it only in GCC 8),?
then it uses abort().
So for all kernels builded by GCC 7.x such pathes are needed.

This error was caught building with OpenWRT:

This message also applies to https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable/msg213925.html
