[gentoo-user] compiling 6.1.33 should all warnings be treated as errors

[John Covici]

Hi. I turned this flag on during my make oldconfig because the text
said there should be no warnings. Is this premature? I did get some
warnings during the make modules and it stopped the compile

Thoughts?

It's a long time since I had a kernel compile with no warnings. It's all very
well for the help text to suggest the you'll get none, but real life doesn't
work that way. Not here, anyway.

So yes, I'd put it back as it was.

Thanks, I will do that.
