Thank you for all the help. 'Xilinx AXI-Stream FIFO IP core driver' option in my menufig shows [*] and I cannot change it to ['m'] following all the intrustcions in OutreachyFIrstPatch step by step. > > Should I start with the steps to reproduce? :'( > > I did see a report of this same warning occurring with GCC but the > report I commented on cane from clang/LLVM; using that toolchain may > make it easier for you to reproduce this issue.

A followed all your instructions step by step. Thanks again!
