commit: 7a0e86123c84ec8853d7c6ae248e911a04a81bb4 [1/1] uglyhack printascii

reproduce:
        wget https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/wfg/lkp-tests.git/plain/sbin/make.cross -O ~/bin/make.cross
        chmod +x ~/bin/make.cross
        git checkout 7a0e86123c84ec8853d7c6ae248e911a04a81bb4
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make.cross ARCH=alpha 

Note: the stericsson/earlydebug HEAD 7a0e86123c84ec8853d7c6ae248e911a04a81bb4 builds fine.
      It only hurts bisectibility.
