Ah, compressed/Makefile doesn't have -Wall. That's the old problem of
x86 not sharing makefiles. I need to dust off my patches which do that.

Now, if you do:

diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
index 35ce1a64068b..10abb7c45d04 100644
--- a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile

 cflags-$(CONFIG_X86_32) := -march=i386
 cflags-$(CONFIG_X86_64) := -mcmodel=small -mno-red-zone

then allmodconfig triggers a bunch:

Would you like to do the above instead and fix them all in one go?

Thx.
