[uml-devel] Build failure on new gcc-6 on Debian Sid

[Ritesh R. S. <rr...@re...>]

Hi,

On Debian Sid (Unstable), with Linux version 4.8.11, I was hopeful that uml
would build proper with gcc-6. But I still am getting the below mentioned build
failure.

The 4.8.11 kernel has the fixes for the core kernel. I'm not sure if any extra
changes are needed for UM again.

The current workaround that we use in Debian to build latest UML bits from the
kernel source, is to use the gcc-5 compiler.

The Debian bug report is accessible at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837579

Thanks,
Ritesh


The fix that went in the stable release is:
