I'm using Debian Testing, and the default gcc is gcc 6.3.0. I'm currently forcing the use of gcc 5.4.1 because I was running into problems with gcc 6.x a while back. (TBH, I was thinking about trying to see if gcc 6.3 was stable for kernel compiles when I had some spare time.) But I don't have access to *any* gcc 4.x on my development system, and I don't think I've tried using gcc 4.x in a long, Long, LONG time. I'm currently kicking off a test run using 5.4.1 with KASAN enabled to see if I can trigger it myself. Can you send me a copy of your .config so I can see what else might be interesting with your config? (e.g., SLAB vs SLUB, etc.) Thanks, - Ted
