That means I'll have to use different toolchains for different kernel
versions, or hand-edit default configuration files to able to work
with the same toolchain. Both is, from a testing perspective,
quite annoying.

Maybe I should simply stop testing older kernels for openrisc
after this patch has been merged; that would be much easier.
Jonas, is that ok with you ?

Side note: I didn't drop it from Cc:, but the openrisc.net domain
name expired and appears to be for sale.
