compiling 3.8.13 fails at built-in.o

[rainforest1155]

I'm trying to build the latest 3.8.13 kernel with netconsole enabled (that's the only change I made to the bb.org_defconfig).

The make fails with this error:
~/build/linux$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} O=/home/rain/build/kernelcompiled

I'm using a fully updated Debian 7 with:
ii binutils 2.22-8 amd64
ii gcc 4:4.7.2-1 amd64
ii gcc-4.6-base:amd64 4.6.3-14 amd64
ii gcc-4.7 4.7.2-5 amd64
ii gcc-4.7-base:amd64 4.7.2-5 amd64
ii gcc-4.7-base:i386 4.7.2-5 i386

and the crosscompiler listed on this page:
https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black

Any idea on what the issue may be? Am I using the wrong version of one of the components?

Builds fine here:

Edit, opps, wrong order of diff -uN, but you get the idea.

Robert,
Thanks for the super fast reply. I changed over to the CC compiler version 4.7 and the compilation seems to be running fine now.
Though, I'm sure that it was the compiler version as I might have accidentally also had the wrong make config in place.
