From 8417da6f2128008c431c7d130af6cd3d9079922e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Marek Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 12:51:15 +0200 Subject: kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+ Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno- in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.
