Building just fine here with a 64-bit userland on Debian Sid and also working
just fine, so far:

% cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.16.0-rc4-tp520-btrfstrim+ (martin@merkaba) (gcc version 7.3.0
(Debian 7.3.0-5)) #42 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 5 10:22:42 CET 2018

Of course a build failure may be triggered by different configuration or any
number of other reasons than using 32-bit userland.

Retpoline protection is active here:

% grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown:Mitigation: PTI
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1:Mitigation: __user pointer
sanitization
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2:Mitigation: Full generic
retpoline

Thanks,
