Well, I compiled this here.  I see, looks like I lost half of the patch
when sending it to you.  Sorryh for that, here's the full patch:

It still generates warnings.  I suggest you build kernels with a script
which saves up stderr and spits it all out at the end.  That way, these
things are noticed.

Well, I do that, but they slipped through anyway.  I did a completle
rebuild now and saw them.  I really need a filter for all those anoying
warnings from the debian sid assembler..

This might be a good time to recommend -Werror. Last time it came up
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102654562025374&w=2),
Alan was dead set against it, and Linus did not apply it, but did
think it had some merit
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102658611213914&w=2). 

Compiling 2.6.0-t5-cvs with my .config and -Werror uncovered only two
warnings. Patches sent seperately.

I don't know what the assembler messages are, but I often do this:

make -j4 bzImage modules > buildk.out 2>&1

bldlogstrip buildk.out > buildkk.out

where 'bldlogstrip' is:

#! /bin/sh
# strip lines that contain CC, LD, "standard input", "In function"
egrep -v "CC|LD" $1 | grep -v "standard input" | grep -v "In function"

to get down to messages to focus on.

In 2.6, warnings are very visible, and many people are working on 
reducing the number of warning.

A full build of 2.6 gives between 200 and 300 warnings with gcc 3.3 
including harmless ones.

You get several "unused variable" warnings when you disable e.g.
CONFIG_PROC_FS.

When compiling with a different compiler version (e.g. 2.95) you get a 
similar number of warnings, but different warnings.

Some warnings are the fault of gcc (and noone will fix gcc 2.95 or the 
unofficial gcc 2.96).


Adding -Werror will turn into a maintenance nightmare.
