Mine's got only:
PACKAGECONFIG_remove = "scripting"
And now I have in addition:
+PERF_SRC = "Makefile \
+ include \
+ tools/arch \
+ tools/build \
+ tools/include \
+ tools/lib \
+ tools/Makefile \
+ tools/perf \
+ tools/scripts \
+ scripts/ \
+ arch/${ARCH}/Makefile \
I guess you can safely drop the -Wno-error=stringop-truncation, it was
fixed with [d943a53ac6d7bd5eab93adecfe9b37356e46da44] in 4.4.y
