Yeah, but it should only build with --enable-werror-always if your host
compiler is the same version as the one you're building. It would be too
much to expect it to compile cleanly with older versions too, since there's
no obvious place to draw the line.
So Marek's point was that current GCC (deliberately) does not warn about
this switch statement. The switch statement used to be:
/* Allow the target to compare Y with X without leaking either into
a register. */
switch ((int) (HAVE_stack_protect_test != 0))
but the (int) cast was removed at the same time as the warning was
adjusted:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-06/msg00790.html
(BTW, although you cc:ed me, it was that patch rather than mine that
introduced the warnings when using unpatched host compilers.)
Thanks,
Richard
