I’m not sure it helps, but just in case, here is a pointer to some work I did to get ati_unfree to build with 4.19:

ati_unfree: don't build with kernel 4.14

## Issue description Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, …please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel. Reproducible with kernel 4.14 and 4.15. It builds with 4.4 and 4.9, but display-manager fails to start. That's probably due to my old crappy GPU. ``` [ 21.022461] <3>[fglrx:firegl_init_device_list] *ERROR* No supported display adapters were found [ 21.022463] <3>[fglrx:firegl_init_module] *ERROR* firegl_init_devices failed ``` rebuild: ``` make[1]: Entering directory '/nix/store/l6y1zslmx3637ylm3pw1shwhpizlgc4h-linux-4.14.24-dev/lib/modules/4.14.24/build' checking for strings.h... yes checking for inttypes.h... yes checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking minix/config.h usability... no checking minix/config.h presence... no checking for minix/config.h... no checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C99... none needed checking whether __clang__ is declared... no checking whether __INTEL_COMPILER is declared... no checking whether __SUNPRO_C is declared... no checking for pkg-config... /nix/store/340wmknqs4by554nwpg3hcr52lshqdj2-pkg-config-0.29.2/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /nix/store/navldm477k3ar6cy0zlw9rk43i459g69-gnused-4.4/bin/sed checking if gcc supports -Werror=unknown-warning-option... no checking if gcc supports -Werror=unused-command-line-argument... no checking if gcc supports -Wall... yes checking if gcc supports -Wpointer-arith... yes checking if gcc supports -Wmissing-declarations... yes checking if gcc supports -Wformat=2... yes /nix/store/l6y1zslmx3637ylm3pw1shwhpizlgc4h-linux-4.14.24-dev/lib/modules/4.14.24/source/Makefile:943: *** "Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel".
