Jeff had posted a fix for that one a while ago:

-int __sched wait_for_completion_interruptible(struct completion *x)
+int __sched fastcall wait_for_completion_interruptible(struct completion *x)

in kernel/sched.c

FWIW, I would simply kill the damn fastcall thing - right now the only
user is uml/i386; everything else either has it #defined to nothing or
(as i386 does) passes -mregparm=3 while having fastcall expand to
__attribute__((regparm(3))) - i.e. has all functions fastcall.

Do we really need it on uml/i386 enough to keep bothering with that mess?
