Just did a pull for the first time since 2.6.20, and a /megaton/ of new warnings have appeared, on Fedora Core 6/x86-64 "make allyesconfig".

All of the new warnings spew appear to be "pointers differ in signedness" warning. Granted, we should care about these, but even a "silent" build (make -s) now spews far more output than any human could possibly care about, and digging important nuggets out of all this noise is beginning to require automated tools rather than just human eyes.

I think this is because of changes to Kbuild and the ongoing discussion related to it. On PPC I see that we are losing options via $(call cc-option..)
