Cheers for reporting this. I managed to reproduce the build failure with
gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1).
The code in question is the arm64 versions of smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release(). Unlike other architectures, these are not built
around READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() since we have instructions we can
use instead of fences. Bringing our macros up-to-date with those (i.e.
tweaking the union initialisation and using the special "uXX_alias_t"
types) appears to fix the issue for me.
