Yeah, I thought so too and I would also bet on the toolchain. After
'fixing' this small problem I got a nice and shiny binary without any
other warnings or errors.

I used the default one per 'make defconfig ARCH=mips
CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/mips64-linux-gnu-' with Fedora 23 MIPS cross
toolchain.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. I was pretty confused by the build
machinery and saw this include for ARM arch which provides also a their
own uapi/asm/auxvec.h

Also I looked at the cpp output and saw that there was no uapi/asm/auxvec.h
included instead it pulls arch/mips/include/generated/uapi/asm/auxvec.h

Not working version:

# 1 "arch/mips/include/generated/uapi/asm/auxvec.h" 1
# 1 "./include/uapi/asm-generic/auxvec.h" 1
# 1 "arch/mips/include/generated/uapi/asm/auxvec.h" 2
# 5 "include/uapi/linux/auxvec.h" 2
# 5 "include/linux/auxvec.h" 2
# 12 "./arch/mips/include/asm/elf.h" 2
# 1 "include/linux/fs.h" 1

working version:

# 1 "./arch/mips/include/asm/auxvec.h" 1
# 1 "./arch/mips/include/uapi/asm/auxvec.h" 1
# 1 "./arch/mips/include/asm/auxvec.h" 2
# 5 "include/uapi/linux/auxvec.h" 2
# 5 "include/linux/auxvec.h" 2
# 12 "./arch/mips/include/asm/elf.h" 2
# 1 "include/linux/fs.h" 1

I've uploaded the cpp output and the config just in case:

https://www.monom.org/data/mips/auxvec/

I am still pretty confused about what should happen in which order. 
Maybe I should call the Confuse-A-Cat squat team.

cheers,
daniel
