Just FYI this has been accepted as regression in gcc, and fixed is
provided for GCC 9.0:

ptrace compile failure with gcc-8.2 on 32-bit powerpc

[Meelis Roos]

After upgrading my distro compiler to gcc-8.2, Linux fails to compile on=20
32-bit powerpc (tested with 4.17, 4.18 and v4.18-7873-gf91e654474d4).
