Enabling HAVE_GIGANTIC_FOLIOS broke kernel build and git clone on two
systems. git fetch-pack fails when cloning large repos and make hangs
or errors out of Makefile.build with Error: 139.
Looking at the last part, "Error 139" was confirmed to be fixed in 6.18, right? At least reading [1] there I find
"it was issue of 6.18.0-rc6 kernel itself. After switching to default Arch Linux kernel build went without problem and I'm now on 6.18 stable kernel."
Did you mange to report the make issue you reported here [2] on 6.18 as well, or only pre 6.18-rc7?
