Topic: objtool problems when compiling newest kernel
Reason: We should centralize objtool trouble in that thead and sticky it, i expect more users hit by objtool and threads could be duplicate/merge.
-> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=8178028#8178028
-> https://bugs.gentoo.org/645774
I'm pretty sure objtool threads will pop-up. I'm also thinking objtool will take time to get properly fixed.

edit: now you know why the "seers consortium" has kick me out

Reason: they are suggesting (unambiguously) that mv is using a sockpuppet account (a violation of the guidelines) for some nefarious purpose. Given their exchanges in that thread that seems to me an attempt to slur mv's character, and a personal insult.

Thanks. The account does seem likely to be a duplicate, but for now at least they're behaving. I'll monitor for now, though someone else may decide to nip it in the bud. --pjp

pjp ... I wasn't reporting the account suspected of being a sockpuppet, I was reporting the fact that 1clue's post suggests that mv is behind it (though 1clue has subsequently stated this was "not the intent"). I read this as an attempt to slur, insult, or incite, mv ... and so a violation of the guidelines. That may not be the case, but you should at minimum speak to both mv, and 1clue about it.

Thanks for your feedback. At the time, I did not come to the same conclusion and instead chose to monitor. Fortunately, I did not notice an escalation of behavior. I prefer to afford people the opportunity to behave as adults and only step in when needed. Text is a method of communication that does not lend itself well to clarity. Stepping in too soon can cause its own problems, including an unnecessary burden to engage in the most minor of misunderstandings. --pjp, 2018.04.19
