commit 8ba14d9f490aef9fd535c04e9e62e1169eb7a055 upstream.
GCC 15 changed the default C standard version to C23, which should not have impacted the kernel because it requests the gnu11 standard via '-std=' in the main Makefile. However, the EFI libstub Makefile uses its own set of KBUILD_CFLAGS for x86 without a '-std=' value (i.e., using the default), resulting in errors from the kernel's definitions of bool, true, and false in stddef.h, which are reserved keywords under C23.
./include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: expected identifier before ‘false’ 11 | false = 0, ./include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers 35 | typedef _Bool bool;
Set '-std=gnu11' in the x86 cflags to resolve the error and consistently use the same C standard version for the entire kernel. All other architectures reuse KBUILD_CFLAGS from the rest of the kernel, so this issue is not visible for them.
