Greetings!

Getting this on my G4 DP on kernel v7.0.2 and v7.1-rc1 at running 
fortify_kunit test:

Suppose this may be a ppc/BE specific test failure as I don't get it on 
my Thinkpad T60 (x86).

Full dmesg and kernel .config available on request.

I have the same on QEMU with pmac32_defconfig + FORTITY + KUNIT ...

Apparently it is due to __builtin_constant_p(*__p) returning FALSE, if I 
understand correctly it is expected that it returns TRUE.

This is with GCC 15.2
