From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
commit 8ba14d9f490aef9fd535c04e9e62e1169eb7a055 upstream.
GCC 15 changed the default C standard version to C23, which should not
have impacted the kernel because it requests the gnu11 standard via
'-std=' in the main Makefile. However, the EFI libstub Makefile uses its
own set of KBUILD_CFLAGS for x86 without a '-std=' value (i.e., using
the default), resulting in errors from the kernel's definitions of bool,
true, and false in stddef.h, which are reserved keywords under C23.
./include/linux/stddef.h:11:9: error: expected identifier before ‘false’
11 | false = 0,
./include/linux/types.h:35:33: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
35 | typedef _Bool bool;
Set '-std=gnu11' in the x86 cflags to resolve the error and consistently
use the same C standard version for the entire kernel. All other
architectures reuse KBUILD_CFLAGS from the rest of the kernel, so this
issue is not visible for them.

[ Conflict in the context, because commit bbf8e8b0fe04 ("efi/libstub:
Optimize for size instead of speed") is not in this version.
'-std=gnu11' can still be added at the same place. ]
