+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1205236 +++

With an update to 4.8.5-1.el7 the RHEL 7.2 kernel build fails on ppc64le with the following errors:

The same solution as in bug 1205236, namely adding --enable-targets=powerpcle-linux to --disable-multilib when configuring gcc is being tested.
