Hi Sasha,

The build logs for linux-4.1 on ARM64 have become completely unreadable after Olof has updated his toolchain, with many thousand warnings like:

   arm64.allmodconfig:

/tmp/cc1QjtsZ.s:2500: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 /tmp/cc1QjtsZ.s:2513: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 /tmp/cc3sXmLs.s:77: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 /tmp/cc3sXmLs.s:90: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 /tmp/cc3J6cMe.s:1401: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 /tmp/cc3J6cMe.s:1414: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 /tmp/ccbjphUv.s:1775: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100 /tmp/ccbjphUv.s:1788: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .fini_array.00100 /tmp/ccVPrJUF.s:50: Warning: ignoring incorrect section type for .init_array.00100

Could you pick up commit cc622420798c ("gcov: disable for COMPILE_TEST") like Greg did for 3.18 and 4.4?

Many configurations also produce drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:100:2: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] which got fixed upstream with

cc7fce802290 ("mtd: blkdevs: fix switch-bool compilation warning")

Once those two are backported, the log files like http://arm-soc.lixom.net/buildlogs/stable-rc/v4.1.49/ become much more useful.

Thanks,

Arnd
