The following build warnings / errors were noticed on powerpc cell_defconfig and mpc83xx_defconfig with clang-20 toolchain on stable-rc 5.4.298-rc1.
But the gcc-12 build passed.
- powerpc, build
- clang-20-cell_defconfig
- clang-20-mpc83xx_defconfig
- clang-nightly-cell_defconfig
- clang-nightly-mpc83xx_defconfig
Regression Analysis:
- New regression? yes
- Reproducibility? yes
First seen on 5.4.298-rc1 Bad: 5.4.298-rc1 Good: v5.4.297
Build regression: stable-rc 5.4.298-rc1 powerpc/boot/util.S:44: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `0'
Reported-by: Linux Kernel Functional Testing lkft@linaro.org
Known issue, patch already submitted: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250902235234.2046667-1-nathan@kernel.org
Will queue that up for the next round of releases, using clang-20 on 5.4.y is brave :)
thanks,
