Gentoo default kernel config
I have been slowly bringing up a Gentoo PPC system in QEMU to host binary
packages for an iBook G3.
The kernel fails to compile with GCC 15 due to C23 issues:

I tried adding KBUILD_CFLAGS += -std=gnu11 to arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile, but
that didn't fix the issue. I am building Linux 6.15.9 because that is the
latest that Gentoo has an official default config for, but
arch/powerpc/boot/types.h and arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile haven't changed from
there to master. 6.12 fails too, for that matter.
(Truncated) output from emerge --info (I am using a 64-bit kernel in the
emulator, and building a 32-bit userland + kernel for the target system):
