 actually, some GCC platforms enabled it by default.
 
 can you turn these warnings off for now?  most of us don't
 want to see them, they break clang, and they make the build
 output a lot more verbose.
 
 having these enabled in your own tree while converting is
 clearly useful, but the rest of us shouldn't have to deal
 with it -- it's several pages of output for my kernel link
 that, with a single .c file change, would otherwise fit in
 a single screen easily.
 
 thanks.
