The minimum version of binutils for kernel build is currently 2.23 and it doesn't support GFNI. So, it fails to build the aria-avx if the old binutils is used. The code using GFNI is an optional part of aria-avx. So, it disables GFNI part in it when the old binutils is used. In order to check whether the using binutils is supporting GFNI or not, AS_GFNI is added.

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.
