Hi,

linux-next build fails on BE config with next-20170424 onwards

the patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/20/994  fixes a similar issue
with kvm guest build failure.

arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:395: Error: operand out of range
(0xffffffffffff8280 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and
0x000000000000ffff)
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1

I couldn't reproduce that.

What toolchain are you using?

I have gcc-4.8.2-1 on Power 6 LPAR running Fedora 20.

Also recreating the same on Power 8 BE LPAR having gcc-4.8.5-11

cheers
