Alpha Kernel -Werror compilation problem...

[Oliver Falk]

Hi!

It seems somewhere in 2.6.23 -Werror has been added to
arch/alpha/kernel/Makefile.

That's bad, because of the following:

  CC      arch/alpha/kernel/sys_titan.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
arch/alpha/kernel/sys_titan.c: In function ‘titan_late_init’:

make[1]: *** [arch/alpha/kernel/sys_titan.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2


I don't know if something else would also fail. Well yes, we could fix
the warning also - anyone has time for it? :-)

Best,
 Oliver
