build failure on ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Hi,

the build has been broken for over a week for me.
Possibly my checkout is out of date??
I am using the normal build --main-git method.

I'm struggling to follow the depedency chain here so I thought I'd better ask.

ubuntu(master)$ grep -r compiler-gcc.h|grep -F '#include'

media/include/linux/compiler_types.h:#include <linux/compiler-gcc.h>
media/tools/include/linux/compiler.h:#include <linux/compiler-gcc.h>
