 |
|
Lately, with the 3.16.x gentoo-sources kernels, I've been getting [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] warnings when doing "make xconfig", right at the onset of building bzImage (on several different Gentoo installs, both x86 and amd64). After these warnings, make bzImage settles down with no other warnings, as usual.
The first is immediately after starting "make bzImage", and the others are several seconds later. No warnings on "make modules."
Everything completes, and kernels run normally, but I'm wondering if these nagging warnings are anything to be concerned about, and if they are caused by the kernel source, or perhaps a gentoo-sources patch? Or, maybe something I missed in my config file?
(The first warning is running make xconfig, and the others were with make bzImage).
EDIT: OK- just tried a 3.17-rc4 from kernel.org, and get the same warnings, so that must eliminate any gentoo-sources (and "USE=experimental" patches).
