Well, I'n not sure. I got this Warning and followed the naive approach;
remove -Werror and hope for the best (as I thought it might be an egcs
bootstrap problem of some kind). The build completed just fine, and I
did another complete make build with the new compiler. It completed
without hitting the warning...

Feico.
