Concurring with Wolfgang; pulling the source straight from kernel.org
and using identical .config files will work with 6.2.0-6 but fail with
6.2.0-7. I was able to build and install 4.8.3 with no issues after
back-revving gcc et. al. to 6.2.0-6

Hello,
with this version of gcc-6 I can't build vanilla kernels any more. It fails

I think this is a major regression if you can't build vanilla and stable
kernels any more.
