commit ee2ab467bd upstream.
GCC 15 changed the default C standard version to C23, which should not
have impacted the kernel because it requests the gnu11 standard via
'-std=' in the main Makefile. However, the x86 compressed boot Makefile
uses its own set of KBUILD_CFLAGS without a '-std=' value (i.e., using
the default), resulting in errors from the kernel's definitions of bool,
true, and false in stddef.h, which are reserved keywords under C23.
./include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: expected identifier before ‘false’
11 | false = 0,
./include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
35 | typedef _Bool bool;
Set '-std=gnu11' in the x86 compressed boot Makefile to resolve the
error and consistently use the same C standard version for the entire
kernel.
