For the fs/exfat/ build error:

What is the target (x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, etc.)?
What is the compiler and its version?

That error usually means that the target is a 32-bit CPU
and the code in question is doing an unsupported divide or
modulus function.

It possibly should be using a kernel macro from <linux/math.h>
or other headers.
