GCC changed the default C standard dialect from gnu17 to gnu23,
which should not have impacted the kernel because it explicitly requests
the gnu11 standard in the main Makefile. However, there are certain
places in the s390 code that use their own CFLAGS without a '-std='
value, which break with this dialect change because of the kernel's own
definitions of bool, false, and true conflicting with the C23 reserved
keywords.
include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: cannot use keyword 'false' as enumeration constant
11 | false = 0,
| ^~~~~
include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: note: 'false' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: 'bool' cannot be defined via 'typedef'
35 | typedef _Bool bool;
| ^~~~
include/linux/types.h:35:33: note: 'bool' is a keyword with '-std=c23' onwards
Add '-std=gnu11' to the decompressor and purgatory CFLAGS to eliminate
these errors and make the C standard version of these areas match the
rest of the kernel.

I only see one other error in various files with a recent GCC 15.0.1
snapshot, which I can eliminate by dropping the version part of the
condition for CONFIG_GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUT_BROKEN. Is this a regression of
the fix for the problem of GCC 14.2.0 or is something else doing on
here?
