well, I just saw that gcc-7.3 arrived in sid today, so at least the
issues with gcc-8 from experimental seem to be history.
As far as I know the gcc-7.2 that was the latest in sid until yesterday
was not the best option in this regard.
Just for the fun of it I got rid of gcc-8 now and upgraded to gcc-7.3; at
least now the kernel started to compile properly. Didn't have time right
now to let it finish though, since I had to boot again into stretch.
Probably there is a good chance that by tomorrow or so we can get a
kernel-image upgrade from sid anyway.
Regards
Michael

I am pleased to see that we have differences. May we together become
greater than the sum of both of us.
