[Buildroot] Altera socdk defconfig no longer builds

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Back in 2015, you contributed altera_socdk_defconfig to Buildroot.
Unfortunately, this defconfig no longer builds: the Linux kernel
version used is too old to build with gcc 5.x.

Do you still have access to this HW platform? If so, can you contribute
a patch to update the defconfig? If you're no longer interested by this
platform, we can also decide to remove its defconfig.

You need to move to kernel 3.18+ for compatibility with gcc5.x or
alternatively backport this commit (and any dependencies):

    kernel: add support for gcc 5

    We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now
    because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk.

    Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h,
    no new code is added as of now.

    This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.

I still have this device in storage somewhere though I have not used it for
at least 15 months.

I will try to sort out a patch sometime over the Christmas break.
