mkdir /tmp/build
make O=/tmp/build ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 defconfig
make O=/tmp/build ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 -j30

The O= is essential; in-tree builds are fine.

Also, turns out you are correct; 3.18.92 fails to build for me
as well if I use a recent compiler. It does build with the compiler
from Poky 1.3. Bisect points to commit a3a8321bf0f00 ("um: Remove
copy&paste code from init.h)"; bisect log is attached.
Not sure if it is worth fixing it, though. Maybe I should just
stop building it for 3.18 instead. Thoughts ?
