Hi Greg,

I noticed that gcc 4.6 is also the requirement for kernel 5.4: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.4/process/changes.html

So anyone who compiles 5.4 with gcc4.6 should also run into the problem.

Best regards, Michael

Hi Greg,

thanks for your answer. We do not use kernel 4.19 at the moment. On the systems itself we have only gcc 4.4.5 - so requirements for kernel 4.19 are not matched and we stay on 4.14. But if anyone else should try to compile 4.19 with gcc 4.6 - they should run into the same problem because of "_Alignof".

On my side it is planned to compile kernel 4.19 with gcc 4.7 or higher - so we should not have problems with "_Alignof" in the future.

Best regards, Michael

Hello,

could you please have a look at Kernel Bug 217013 that was reported by me yesterday? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217013

Thanks for the email, and the bug report, I'll work on this later today.

Do you also see the same problem with the 4.19.y kernel tree? Or are you not using that one too, or with a newer compiler?

thanks,
