Thanks Masahiro! I had this in my inbox to test but you're too efficient.

Testing your patch on linus' tree as of today (d7a02fa0a8f9) gives me
this output:

You are building kernel with non-retpoline compiler.
Please update your compiler.
make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:308: checkbin] Error 1

Which is a little confusing.

The second time is shorter, but the retpoline message is not ideal:

$ CROSS_COMPILE=foo  make
make: foogcc: Command not found
scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
scripts/Kconfig.include:34: compiler 'foogcc' not found
make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:69: syncconfig] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:557: syncconfig] Error 2
make: Failed to remake makefile 'include/config/auto.conf'.
You are building kernel with non-retpoline compiler.
Please update your compiler.

Cheers,

Joel
