This is from v7.2. I tried this and v7.3-rc3 and did not notice a
warning (other than unrelated stack size from drm). I did notice:

-CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="x86_64-linux-gcc (GCC) 16.2.0"
+CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (Debian 16.2.0-2) 16.2.0"
CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=160200
-CONFIG_AS_VERSION=20285426
+CONFIG_AS_VERSION=24700
-CONFIG_LD_VERSION=20285426
+CONFIG_LD_VERSION=24700
+CONFIG_CC_HAS_MARCH_NATIVE=y

which might be the culprit. There were other things, too, so the
oldconfig was not clean (such as missing CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION).
