Subject: Build failure with GCC 15 (-std=gnu23)

Whenever I try to build the kernel with upcoming GCC 15 which defaults to -std=gnu23 I get a build failure:

```

This can be reproduced on older GCC versions with KCFLAGS="-std=gnu23"


With Clang 18 and KCFLAGS="-std=c23" it's an even bigger mess:

There is a lot more output from the compiler that i've cut off because the email would become way too long.
