Ok, I'll try that. Want on CC?

The good thing is, it is a new issue in 4.7 since it doesn't trigger
with 4.6:

$  make CC=gcc-4.6 drivers/ata/libata-core.o
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `relocs'.

  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh

vs
