Oh god, not that again.  I've no idea why ARM stuff has such a problem with
supporting this very useful "%c" GCC constraint.  Aarch32 didn't for ages
consequently we now have horrid hacks around it in the kernel source
because our compilers suck.  Seems Aarch64 is doomed to repeat the same
stupid mistakes. :(
