I'm trying to compile using Linaro 6 and I'm receiving this error which I believe have something do do with GCC 6? I'm very amateur with compiling kernels or coding for that matter, but I couldn't figure this out even search similar terms:
CC drivers/iommu/msm_iommu-v1.o
In file included from include/linux/io.h:22:0,

this is my GitHUB:
Looks like a bug with that iommu driver. It's trying to do a bit-shift into an int instead of a long, an int doesn't have enough bits to complete the operation. I'm guessing the -Wno-error isn't used, so all warnings are treated as errors.
This question will help you: How to compile without warnings being treated as errors?
What I personally do is update CFLAGS in my .bashrc (Assuming you're using Linux). This is what I use:
# Ensure C builds don't fail on warnings
export CFLAGS="-Wno-error"
export CXXFLAGS="-Wno-error"
