You seem not to have seen the email I sent shortly after my original report. In that email I apologised for the noise
because, due to a caffeine deficiency, I had reported the problem against the wrong kernel version and that it actually
occurs 6.1.27. gcc13 spits it out as a warning, but kernel build system is setbup to treat warnings as errors, so the
build fails.
