I just saw this breakage while compiling a kernel on HEAD updated
minutes ago:

*** [linux_ioctl.o] Error code 1

These line numbers all point at nameless unions.

Seems to me that a union needs a name, otherwise one cannot
access its contents.

I simply named them all x to get the kernel to compile, which
succeeded.

It seems that none of these unions are used at the moment.
