Martin - can we just remove the

         select HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS

from the s390 Kconfig file (or perhaps add "if BROKEN" or something to
disable it).

Because if it's not getting fixed, it shouldn't be exposed.

Hmm.  I assume it's

    arch/sparc/include/asm/cacheflush_32.h

that wants a forward-declaration of 'struct page', and doesn't include
any header files.

The fix is presumably to move the

   #include <asm/cacheflush.h>

in drivers/staging/media/omap4iss/iss_video.c down to below the
<linux/*> includes?

The old patchwork link you had for a fix no longer works, I think
because the patchwork database got re-generated during the upgrade
(and the patchwork numbering isn't stable).

Davem?
