So first, as Philipp notes we require gcc-6 or later for U-Boot itself.
But you're hitting this on the host and I assume something uncommon but
not unsupported yet where it's still on gcc-4.7.  So I'm inclined to
allow the patch and just note that we're likely to have other breakage
in the future.  Also, can you please v2 and reword with a Fixes tag
instead?  Thanks!
