FYI: these are the new build failures in [core] with this toolchain:

iptables:
/usr/include/linux/if_packet.h:176:2: error: unknown type name
'__aligned_u64'

krb5:
deltat.c:1694:12: error: 'yylval' may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

syslinux:
/usr/include/linux/ext2_fs.h:178:41: error: unknown type name 'umode_t'


Two are linux-api-headers related and one from -Werror
