Subject: linux-next: build warnings after merge of the tip tree

Hi all,

After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
produced these warnings:

Introduced (I think) by commit

  bb9707077b4e ("tools: Copy the bitsperlong.h files from the kernel")

I saw some discussion of this, so I assume ti will be fixed soon.
