No, it was not intentional that I am aware of. just something that no
one seemed to notice until now because build issues are fairly rare
these days. I would be open to reintroducing something to apply
patches here.
We do apply some of the patches like kbuild-AFTER_LINK.patch always.
I just didn't think about that when I applied the gcc patch. FWIW,
a real fix should be in Linus' master branch now so it should compile
cleanly. Sorry about the trouble.
Thanks,
