They might hide potential issues if not being fixed. And halting on warnings is a nice way how to catch them among all the log data a kernel compile can produce. However, this question probably belongs more to the Fedora Kernel mailing list [1], as this is a Fedora issue not a CentOS issue. You know, two different distributions ;-) kind regards, David Sommerseth [1] <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list> > gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/.wakemain.o.d -nostdinc > -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.5.1/include -nostdinc -isystem > /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.5.1/include -Iinclude > -I/home/sclark/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32/arch/x86/include -include > include/linux/autoconf.h -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude > -I/home/sclark/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32/arch/x86/include -include > include/linux/autoconf.h -g -Os -D_SETUP -D_WAKEUP -D__KERNEL__ > -I/home/sclark/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/../../../boot > -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -march=i386 -mregparm=3 -include > /home/sclark/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/../../../boot/code16gcc.h > -fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -ffreestanding > -fno-toplevel-reorder -fno-stack-protector -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 > -m32 -D"KBUILD_STR(s)=#s" -D"KBUILD_BASENAME=KBUILD_STR(wakemain)" > -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(wakemain)" -D"DEBUG_HASH=57" > -D"DEBUG_HASH2=38" -c -o arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/.tmp_wakemain.o > arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/wakemain.c > cc1: warnings being treated as errors > arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c: In function 'lapic_suspend': > arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:2008:3: error: statement with no effect > arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c: In function 'lapic_resume': > arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.c:2085:3: error: statement with no effect > make[5]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/apic/apic.o] Error 1 > make[4]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/apic] Error 2 > > Thanks,
