Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
linux 4.9.65-3 (Stretch 9.3), as well as 4.9.51-1 and 4.9.47-1 FTBFS on sparc64:
/build/linux-4.9.65/arch/sparc/lib/multi3.S:2:24: fatal error: asm/export.h: No
such file or directory
#include <asm/export.h>
^
compilation terminated.
/build/linux-4.9.65/scripts/Makefile.build:398: recipe for target
'arch/sparc/lib/multi3.o' failed
It seems commit 1b4af13ff2cc "sparc64: Add __multi3 for gcc 7.x and later." was
backported to 4.9 in 4.9.32 (commit 4b684e6474d0), but
/debian/patches/bugfix/sparc/revert-sparc-move-exports-to-definitions.patch
doesn't patch /arch/sparc/lib/multi3.S.
Applying the following patch, taken from linux 4.11.11-1's
revert-sparc-move-exports-to-definitions.patch allows the build to succeed on
sparc64 for linux 4.9.65-3, as well as 4.9.51-1 and 4.9.47-1:

Would it be possible to include this patch in future linux 4.9.x packages?
Thanks!
