Currently BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to smth like the following:
do {
extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void)
__attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed")));
if (!(!(1)))
__compiletime_assert_0();
} while (0);
If used in a function body this obviously would produce build errors
with -Wnested-externs and -Werror.
Build objtool with -Wno-nested-externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
