Though I dont have the same compiler, I am unable to reproduce this
build failure exactly. The build fails but for a different symbol.
I have the following gcc version but does it really make a

gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) 4.9.2

mm/memory.c: In function ‘copy_pmd_range’:
mm/memory.c:1002:3: error: implicit declaration of function
‘pmd_related’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
