linux-next: build failure after merge of the origin tree

[Stephen Rothwell]

Hi all,

After merging the origin tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:225: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1

Exposed by commit

  6d2ef226f2f1 ("compiler_attributes.h: drop __has_attribute() support for gcc4")

Powerpc uses BOOTAS to build arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o (and others)
which (with V=1) is

  gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/powerpc/boot/.crt0.o.d -D__ASSEMBLY__ -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -msoft-float -mno-altivec -mno-vsx -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-builtin -fPIC -nostdinc -include /home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/compiler_attributes.h -I/home/sfr/next/next/arch/powerpc/include -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated -I/home/sfr/next/next/include -I./include -I/home/sfr/next/next/arch/powerpc/include/uapi -I./arch/powerpc/include/generated/uapi -I/home/sfr/next/next/include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include /home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/compiler-version.h -include /home/sfr/next/next/include/linux/kconfig.h -m32 -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/10/include -mbig-endian -nostdinc -c -o arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o /home/sfr/next/next/arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.S

I am not sure what is missing here to get __has_attribute defined.

I have reverted the above commit for today ( and reapplied the bits
from commits

  7ed012969bbc ("Compiler Attributes: fix __has_attribute(__no_sanitize_coverage__) for GCC 4")
  b83a908498d6 ("compiler_attributes.h: move __compiletime_{error|warning}")
).

I assume that this needs some work in the powerpc arch Makfile(s) ...
