Here's a TravisCI job for ARC that passes perfectly fine:
https://travis-ci.org/abrodkin/u-boot/jobs/362026822

Stuff that is built there is here:
https://github.com/abrodkin/u-boot/commits/staging-arc

Basically it's:
 * v2018.05-rc1 +
 * My last PR (tags/arc-for-2018.05) +
 * [This] "disable stack-usage" patch
