[SOLVED]DKMS make failures *** Compiler lacks asm-goto support.. Stop

Hi all,

When trying to compile kernel modules with DKMS I am getting the below errors.

arch/x86/Makefile:184: *** Compiler lacks asm-goto support..  Stop.

DKMS make.log for openrazer-driver-2.3.1 for kernel 4.17.14-arch1-1-ARCH (x86_64)

Please use code tags instead of quote tags for commands and their outputs.
gcc 8.2 supports asm-goto but the the kernel build detects the compiler in use does not.  What other compilers are present on the system?

thanks. I don't think there is anything other than vala. I managed to fix this by re-installing the kernel. Something must have broken when the system was updating to 4.17.4
