I found this build error used with gcc 4.9.4.
I try it used with gcc 7.3.1 and it has no problem.
We can use new gcc version to avoid this build error.

Additionally, I want to know whether ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS
is necessary for MIPS to get more debugging info, with this
config we can enable the config FRAME_POINTER by default and
disable it manually.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Makefile#n790
ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls

Thanks,
Tiezhu
