Kernel 4.1 compilation error

[parthitce]

Hello All,

I have tried compiling the Kernel 4.1 in my Ubuntu 14.04. I have installed the cross compiler "gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf".

Branch: 4.1
Tag: 4.1.6-ti-r11

Config file used:
bb.org_defconfig

Command used:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs LOADADDR=0x80008000 -j8

Error:

arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c:54:2: error: #error Your compiler is too buggy; it is known to miscompile kernels
 #error Your compiler is too buggy; it is known to miscompile kernels
  ^
arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c:55:2: error: #error and result in filesystem corruption and oopses.
 #error and result in filesystem corruption and oopses.

Problem is not seen with the gcc version 4.9 from Linaro.

So... What's the issue? there's a bug in gcc 4.8.x that was just fixed in 4.8.3...

Closing...
