I don't see any 4.4 branch in Debian sources, but you may use git tag "debian/4.4.6-1" as base for your own work/fork. Happy hacking! PS: I can't understand why you're mixing GCC 6.x release (_unstable_) and Linux kernel 4.4.x long-term support (_stable_). If you're targeting on stable workflow, use GCC 5.x or even 4.9.x instead of 6.x branch. -- SY, Konstantin Demin
