perhaps, but it doesnt make projects compile any better, and i'd be suspicious 
of how long it's actually going to take for that to become a reality.  gcc has 
behaved this way for years, and i dont see any sign of it changing (it hasnt 
even started issuing warnings).

looks like we already do, and you added it for precisely this reason (Aug 
2009).  i guess the OP is using an older version of u-boot which is why it's 
still a problem for him ?

kind of makes this whole thread pointless noise ... sorry about that
