| |
After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10, I can't build kernels anymore unless the following patch is applied to the kernel Makefile. A word of caution for anybody that is planning to update their development systems.

Please refer to the Ubuntu 16.10 release notes for more details.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes#GCC
Ubuntu is recommended applying this patch for building Linux kernels. I am not sure this is the right way to go. I am hoping this is work-around and patching the kernel Makefile will not be the solution going forward.
I haven't seen any patch sent upstream to make this change, so I still hope this is a temporary work-around. Maybe be there is patch that came through and you are aware of this problem?
thanks, -- Shuah
