Hi Steven!

I am one of the Debian porters of the SH port. Currently, the kernel
package fails to build from source on our automatic build machines
due to this bug. Here is the full build log where you can see it
fail with gcc-4.8:

Since the SH port of Debian was long time poorly maintained, this
issue hasn't got any attention for quite a while which means the
most current kernel version we have at the moment on SH is 3.2.0
something. I asked Michael to submit this change on my behalf since
he has submitted kernel patches in the past.

Thus, it would be nice if this fix could be merged ASAP upstream
and included in all stable releases as well such that we get a
working up-to-date kernel on SH soon.

Thanks!
Adrian
