From a8735821d198675dd326cc5847e79df79c735119 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Floris Kraak Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:54:02 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Kbuild: Disable the -Wformat-security gcc flag Some distributions have enabled the gcc flag -Wformat-security by default. This results in a number of warnings about format arguments to functions, sometimes in cases where fixing the warning is not likely to actually fix a bug. Instead of hand patching a dozens of places (possibly more) that produce warnings that get ignored anyway we just turn off the flag in the Makefile.
