4.3 works as well nowadays.

That should not make a difference. Can you go to ~/my-l4-build, do
"make V=1 oldconfig" and show the output? Normally, after doing
oldconfig, the paths in ~/my-l4-build/Makeconf.bid.local should be
updated to the current compiler. Hopefully it can be seen from the
output why this might not work.
