FWIW, I'll disable WERROR in my build tests for the affected architectures. That is kind of counter-productive, but the only real alternative would be to stop build (and sometimes, such as for ppc, runtime) tests entirely, which would be even worse. Guenter

If you prefer, I can go back to the older version and just disable the warning for the architectures with defconfig build failures. I did a lot of fixes for mips, so at least defconfig and allmodconfig should be fine now, leaving only alpha, nios2, sh and sparc as far as I can tell, at least once Linus merges the asm-generic pull request hat has a bunch of the currently missing fixes.
