Absolutely, it's a real bug that should be fixed. What is counterproductive is that this rare and hard to replicate build modus is now a must-have test for linux-next inclusion.
I already cross-build to 20+ weird, rarely used architectures, slowing down the linux-next merge integration test immensely and wasting quite a bit of electricity. linux-next making it even harder to test for is a step backwards.
Thanks,
Ingo
