It fails with gcc-8 and gcc-9, but it builds with gcc-10. Quick way to
reproduce:
  [host] docker run --rm -it -v /linux:/linux -w /linux
tuxbuild/build-gcc-9_mips
  [docker] make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-gnu- defconfig
  [docker] make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-gnu- mm

You can use these other Docker containers: tuxbuild/build-gcc-8_mips
and tuxbuild/build-gcc-10_mips.

Logs for those builds (and allnoconfig, tinyconfig, with gcc-8, gcc-9
and gcc-10) can also be found here:
