Trying to rebuild kernel-4.9 from source, but obtaining the following ERROR message. I’m using Ubuntu 20.04.1 with gcc 9.3

....../kernel-4.9/drivers/base/regmap/regcache-rbtree.c:36:1: error: alignment 1 of ‘struct regcache_rbtree_node’ is less than 8 [-Werror=packed-not-aligned]

Any suggestions?

Please use GCC 7.3.1
