Guess you are saying that those examples won't build even with a
newer toolchain. Good that I already decided not to re-build my
toolchains ;-).

Now I am left with the question if the samples build should be
masked for alpha and mips, or if I should drop building samples
from my 'allmodconfig' builds. I think I'll do the latter;
there seems to be an expectation that samples are built with
a recent toolchain, and I can not keep rebuilding toolchains for
the rest of my life.
