Kernel 6.16.9-rc1 compiles fine for x86_64 using GCC 15.2.1+r22+gc4e96a094636 and binutils 2.45+r29+g2b2e51a31ec7, and the resulting kernel boots and runs without any discernible issues on various physical machines of mine (Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake) and on a Zen 2 VM and a bunch of Kaby Lake VMs.
