Thanks.

Ok, let me try to bisect it. Compile-problem should be easy...

Hmm. And as it is compile-problem in single file, it should even be
reasonably fast. I did not realize how easy it would be:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
cp config.ok .config
yes '' | ARCH=arm make lib/string.o

And the winner is:

ee333554fed55555a986a90bb097ac7f9d6f05bf is the first bad commit

    ARM: 8749/1: Kconfig: Add ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE

    CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE detects various overflows at compile-time.
        (6974f0c4555e ("include/linux/string.h:
    add the option of fortified string.h functions)
    
    ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE means that the architecture can be built
    and
    run with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
    
    Since ARM can be built and run with that flag like other
    architectures,
    select ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE as default.
