Oh. This has broken my U-Boot build/test system. I guess it's entirely my fault for interpreting the "2018.01" warning as "you'll need to fix this in Jan 2018", not "you'll need to fix this as soon as development starts for 2018.01":-( Is there a reason for requiring such an extremely new gcc, as opposed to simply something not ancient? For example, no LTS version of Ubuntu packages a compiler that's new enough to build U-Boot now:-(
