I wasn't talking about modifying gcc to do the checking, rather

get it automatically checked.
There's a reason that we tell all patch submitters to run "make C=1"
on several configs before submitting patches. Besides, you seem to
have a vast misunderstanding of LK development processes; we frown
heavily on people who don't "compile their code before submitting the
patch", it's not a rare thing at all.
