CCin Arnd; I use some of his compiler chains, others from Fedora directly. For
example for alpha and arc, the Fedora gcc is "13.2.1".


I compile quite some targets, usually with defconfig. From my compile script:

Some of them look like mm-unstable issue, For example, arm64 fails with

But there is other stuff like (arc):

Yes, I will rebase on top of that!
