Hi list, FWIW, the script 'scripts/gcc-plugin.sh', in the kernel tree returns an error on Debian, if gcc-8-plugin-dev is not installed. This results in HAVE_GCC_PLUGIN to be set to 'n', so that the configuration step does not ask about (or show) the GCC plugin menu.
The main result for me was that I got an error when compiling the kernel during an LFS build, using a .config file generated on Debian: on LFS, all gcc files are installed, and HAVE_GCC_PLUGIN gets set to 'y' in this case. So now the config step asks about GCC plugins, which is not defined in .config (neither 'not set' nor 'y')and 'make oldconfig' fails... But I wanted also to mention that there seem to be a lot of plugins about randomization and entropy. Maybe their presence (or absence) might explain Ken's difficulties (thread starting at http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2018-June/080154.html) (or not)...
