Hi, THis version of the kernel is supposed to have the kbuild fixes [1]. But the packaged Linux version, 4.8.11 is missing them in the Makefile. As I understand, the kernel team is only picking debian specific changes in patches, and in exceptional cases, features that aren't upstream yet. But, for this latest upload, that claims to include stable fixes up till 4.8.11, it doesn't seem so.
