OK, I will/should try.

Hmm... I am 'almost' a volunteer: my company support what I have done
for Public Open Source, they treat it as important thing.

Now you are mainly focusing on arc, and I want/try to focus on kernel

rejects me for it, so I will/should try.

OK, thank you for your valuable information in time, at least, it saves
my time resources, after pass this issue, hope our arc can pass
allmodconfig.
