Hi

We've picked up kernel-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7 errata released last week,
however there is a problem building kernel modules, eg beegfs fails to
build:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64'
arch/x86/Makefile:166: *** CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y, but not supported by the
compiler. Toolchain update recommended..  Stop.

[root@term12 build]# yum list gcc
Installed Packages
gcc.x86_64                                    4.8.5-16.el7_4.1
                          @sl-fastbugs

My reading of https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:0408 suggests
that gcc-4.8.5-16.el7_4.2 is required for support for retpolines in
kernel-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.

Is this on the roadmap?

Cheers
Toby
