Any news on this? You need to move to kernel 3.18+ for compatibility
with gcc5.x or alternatively backport this commit (and any
dependencies):

    kernel: add support for gcc 5

    We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now
    because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk.

    Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h,
    no new code is added as of now.

    This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.

Do you think you will manage to fix the build issue before the end of
January or should we remove the defconfig?
