Subject: [PATCH stable 6.1 v2 5/5] perf build: Remove -Wno-unused-but-set-variable from the flex flags when building with clang < 13.0.0
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 09:33:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520163320.3073037-6-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520163320.3073037-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com>
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
clang < 13.0.0 doesn't grok -Wno-unused-but-set-variable, so just remove
it to avoid:
error: unknown warning option '-Wno-unused-but-set-variable'; did you mean '-Wno-unused-const-variable'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
make[4]: *** [/git/perf-6.5.0-rc4/tools/build/Makefile.build:128: /tmp/build/perf/util/pmu-flex.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Fixes: ddc8e4c966923ad1 ("perf build: Disable fewer bison warnings")
