I *think* this is interacting in a fun way with at least the IIO
subsystem in -next (Linus' tree is fine, I didn't do too much
investigation as I'd quite like the -next build to finish some time
today):

/tmp/next/tmp/ccjk7YJR.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/next/tmp/ccjk7YJR.s:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `I'
make[7]: *** [/tmp/next/build/scripts/Makefile.build:194: drivers/iio/imu/inv_icm42600/inv_icm42600_core.o] Error 1

I've dropped the IIO trees from -next for now.
