Subject: linux-stable compile failure v3.18-rc7, v3.17.4, and v3.14.25

Hi,

Kernels tagged v3.18-rc7, v3.17.4, and v3.14.25 all fail with a similar
error. (a bunch of the output attached)

I am probably not on the list (i think it bounced due to full mailbox
and auto-removed me), so please CC me.

These fail:
vanilla 3.18-rc7 (tested openSUSE, debian8, [and *debian7])
vanilla 3.14.25 (tested debian8 [and *debian7])
vanilla + grsecurity 3.17.4 (tested openSUSE, debian8 [and *debian7])

These ones I built in the past with the same config (see below) don't fail:
3.14.21
3.17.1
3.17.2
3.17.4 with lustre disabled

I used the same kernel config each time, plus "make olddefconfig".

Here is a sample grep -i lustre on the config.
/boot/config-3.17.2-1-desktop:CONFIG_LUSTRE_FS=m
/boot/config-3.17.2-1-desktop:CONFIG_LUSTRE_OBD_MAX_IOCTL_BUFFER=8192
/boot/config-3.17.2-1-desktop:# CONFIG_LUSTRE_DEBUG_EXPENSIVE_CHECK is
not set
/boot/config-3.17.2-1-desktop:CONFIG_LUSTRE_LLITE_LLOOP=m

I am not using lustre, but it seems like a compile bug nonetheless.

Thanks,
Peter

ps. FYI... probably ignore this until the above works first.

*debian7 fails with much different output, and not sure if it is
related. Here is the not so useful output...  I am not sure I know where
to look in the output for the relevant message. It iis also a grsecurity
build, where for whatever reason they decided to spam us with extremely
verbose output, making the log useless.
