Hi Greg,
both vanilla 6.16.8-rc1 and 6.16.8-rc1 with the additional patch "netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: fix null deref for empty set" from the stable queue (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree...) compile fine for x86_64 using GCC 15.2.1+r22+gc4e96a094636 and binutils 2.45+r29+g2b2e51a31ec7, and the resulting kernels booted and ran/runs without any discernible issues on various physical machines of mine (Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake) and on a Zen 2 VM and a bunch of Kaby Lake VMs.
Regards Pascal
