Am I the only one seeing this problem ?

It affects 5.4.y and 5.10.y for me.

Odd. Let me go build with gcc-11, I have just moved to gcc-12 on those
two branches locally...


Don't bother. This seems to be related to my build environment, not to the kernel.
Rebuilding passed on different servers. It may have to do with my recent update
to Ubuntu 22.04 on the server experiencing the problem. I'll try to figure out
what is going on. Sorry for the noise.
