--- Comment #4 from Markus Trippelsdorf <trippels at gcc dot gnu.org> --- And the Linux kernel would not see these warnings anyway: Makefile: 707 # These warnings generated too much noise in a regular build. 708 # Use make W=1 to enable them (see scripts/Makefile.build) 709 KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, unused-but-set-variable) 710 KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning, unused-const-variable)
