It is nice to see this resolved for 5.3-rc1. Excuse my ignorance of the process, but will this patch be (perhaps automagically) backported so the next iteration of the 5.2 (and maybe 5.1) stable kernels for amd64 and i386 also get generated successfully?

This appears to be due to the changes in 9.1.0-3ubuntu1 enabling -fcf- protection by default on 19.10's gcc-9. Switching to gcc-8 allows compilation to proceed.
