That's nice, but it breaks the build on my system as linux_banner somehow isn't enabled as part of the build?
I really don't see how you managed to disable it. :-)
init/version.c is built unconditionally, and it has 'const char linux_banner[]' unconditionally. Then ram.c includes kernel.h, which unconditionally (well, under #ifdef __KERNEL__) includes printk.h, which has 'extern const char linux_banner[];' prototype...
I'm still looking further, but can you please send your config file? And may be gcc version?
p.s. While investigating this, I found that quite a lot of includes are missing in pstore headers, and I was able to trigger at least one issue. The patch will follow.
