I saw this locally, at times, it's random, not always showing up.  Turn
off the gcc randconfig build option and it goes away, which explains the
randomness I guess.

If you can bisect this to a real change that causes it, please let me
know, I couldn't figure it out and so just gave up as I doubt anyone is
really using that gcc plugin for that kernel version.
