    with a CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK configuration and GCC 5.2.0.  Include
    `-fno-strict-aliasing' along with compiler options used, as required for
    kernel code, fixing a problem present since the introduction of VDSO
    with commit ebb5e78c ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO").
    
    Thanks to Tejun for diagnosing this properly!
