The following errors are seen when building the kernel with the latest
available metag toolchain (4.2.4 (IMG-1.4.0.700)). Kernel version tested
is (v4.16-rc2-64-gaf3e79d29555).

Thanks, these are easy enough for me to fix up.

Hmm.. ancient shelved toolchain. Perhaps this is the excuse we need to
say goodbye to arch/metag/...

I too was wondering - that one day there will come a time when the
toolkit will be too old and there will be no updates....

Might be worth a thought. The metag toolchain doesn't even build anymore
without tweaking. gcc 4.2.4 doesn't build with a modern gcc, the metag
buildroot on github points to a no longer existing daily snapshot of
uclibc, and ToT uclibc doesn't build with gcc 4.2.4.
