It looks like this is triggered by you switching arm builds from gcc 8
to 9, rather than by any code change.

Does it actually make sense to try to support building Linux 3.16 with
gcc 9?  If so, I suppose I'll need to add:

commit edc966de8725f9186cc9358214da89d335f0e0bd
Author: Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Aug 2 12:37:56 2019 +0200

    Backport minimal compiler_attributes.h to support GCC 9

commit a6e60d84989fa0e91db7f236eda40453b0e44afa
Author: Miguel Ojeda <miguel.ojeda.sandonis@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sat Jan 19 20:59:34 2019 +0100

    include/linux/module.h: copy __init/__exit attrs to init/cleanup_module

Ben.
