Hi Robert, It took me a little while to get a gcc-7 environment set up with Fedora Rawhide on x86_64. I have a kernel building now with gcc-7 and will see what other issues pop up during the compile. While watching the output of the build I see the gcc-7 error message about truncating output of snprintf output seems to occur for a number of other places besides the oprofile kernel code during the compile. -Will
