Hi!
When using the linaro-4.9-2015.05 toolchain on the Linux master and on Linux stable releases I am seeing a build issue below when using the allyesconfig. This does not seem to occur on the 5.2 tool chain. We cannot move to 5.2 tool chain for our releases as they are based on 4.9.

Please advise to how to resolve this issue within the 4.9 Linaro tool chain
