Ok, can you include multi_v5_defconfig than?
I see you have one named "arm-arm5", which may be the same.

I have around 130 patches for warnings that I'm submitting at the moment, but there are a couple of really tricky ones that I don't currently have a good plan for:
- in some configurations, you end up without any boards selected, hitting an #error in the final link - ARMv3 support in gcc is rather broken and causes internal compiler errors among other things - the old ELF format (OABI) doesn't work in some cases - GCOV_PROFILE_ALL causes problems that need to be debugged - XIP_KERNEL sometimes causes kallsyms to fail - not all platforms implement the complete clk API, if they don't use CONFIG_COMMON_CLK (I have patch for that we can probably merge) - CONFIG_PHYS_OFFSET needs to be entered manually to be a number in 'make config' - same for DEBUG_LL
