The gcc bugzilla mentions backports into gcc-linaro, but I do not see them in my git history.So, do we raise the minimum gcc version for the kernel as a whole to 5.1 or just for aarch64?
Russell, Arnd, thanks so much for tracking down the root cause of the bug! I will note that RHEL 7 uses gcc 4.8. I personally don't have an objections to requiring developers using RHEL 7 to have to install a more modern gcc (since I use Debian Testing and gcc 10.2.1, myself, and gcc 5.1 is so five years ago :-), but I could imagine that being considered inconvenient for some. - Ted
