Ehh. Kees, that's the compiler in F42.

Really. It's not some "unreleased compiler version".

It's the main compiler in one of the biggest Linux distributions, out now.

Why do you think I made the change? Because the kernel DID NOT BUILD
without those changes.

So no. This was not some kind of "solved problem". Quite the reverse.
