It's a classy set of wheels he did send a picture many years ago on kernel
newbies irc but I
cannot locate this in a hurry. Maybe Valdis if he still has the pic could
share ? And if you meet
him in real life someday ask him about the hole in his back ? I am not
kidding he went through
some very serious pain due to a *bug* sadly not a kernel bug which he would
have simply squashed
effortlessly but something called a 'flesh-eating bug' . Anyways...

Fine you convinced me security is a concern.  I got the Debian
debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso and
did a:

sudo dd if=debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdi bs=1024k

and I am typing this from a brand new clean install of 5.10.0-11-amd64
( Codename: Bullseye)

I have a *different* setup. See below :-)

I was running 3.16 something and my setup has a usb dock with a 500GB

Why ? Just wanted to see if Grub will break ? Sadly as I was already
aware Grub does not
break :-)

Thanks for scaring the sh*ts out of me with the security-relevant pitch.

Well... the answer to the posed question is, of course, "install gcc 5.1 or 
later"
(and even *that* is pretty damned ancient - some of us are chasing problems
with building the kernel with gcc 12.  gcc 5.1 was released on 4-22-2015).

The meta question is what the  you're running that 4.9.2 (released
on 10-30-2014) is still the compiler - and what *other* things on your machine
are severely backleveled, particularly security-relevant patches

*** Compiler is too old

Hello,

It has been some time since I needed to compile a kernel and I have this
problem now.
*** Compiler is too old.

What would be the sanest way to do this? Meaning upgrade gcc and friends ?
Please see below for details:

make menuconfig gives me this:

aruna@debian:/media/aruna/linux-next/home/linux-5.16.10$ make menuconfig
***
*** Compiler is too old.

and make -j3 gives me this:
