Hello!
I was building my new 4.14 kernel, and on first instance I got working kernel +
modules, booted ok, found my fb console was missing, recompiled kernel with
framebuffer console built-in (it resetted itself from M to N, because I was
using menuconfig on .config from 4.12 where I had fbcon = M). After reboot into
new kernel everything works, so far. But if I select new ORC unwinder under
kernel hacking submenu - I get compilation error early:

I try to cross-compile from 32-bit slackware with self-built minimal

I basically just followed steps from https://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Toolchains
but replaced mips with x86_64 . It worked on many kernels for long time. This
new kernel first complained about missing gelf.h include, and after installing
elfutils-0.163-i586-1 (compiled on 32-bit slackware) I now have this error.
Problem is, even if I unselect ORC unwinder and choose Frame-pointer based
unwinder again - error remain, at least after make clean.
I usually monitor LKML via web-interface, but please CC me just in case I miss
my answers. Attached .config after changing unwinder back to frame-pointer
based.
