Testing the Debian release cross compilers/binutils: Debian 10 / gcc 8.3.0 / ld 2.31.1: generates the warning Debian 11 / gcc 10.2.1 / ld 2.35.2: generates the warning Debian 12 / gcc 12.2.0 / ld 2.40: does _not_ generate the warning I suppose moving to the newer toolchain is the workaround. Although it is a bit unusual to require such a modern toolchain in order to build a kernel without warnings. John Ogness
