I really don't see how you managed to disable it. :-)

init/version.c is built unconditionally, and it has
'const char linux_banner[]' unconditionally. Then ram.c includes
kernel.h, which unconditionally (well, under #ifdef __KERNEL__)
includes printk.h, which has 'extern const char linux_banner[];'
prototype...

I'm still looking further, but can you please send your config
file? And may be gcc version?


p.s. While investigating this, I found that quite a lot of includes
are missing in pstore headers, and I was able to trigger at least
one issue. The patch will follow.
