Yeah, we need to re-sync with the kernel again, and there's some other
issue to sort out. I don't recall what, just that someone else had
looked and it wasn't a "update, no changes required". So we should look
in to that I think. I don't know if gcc-15.2.x has released with a bug
fix for building all of our platforms or not yet:
