Hello,

I am trying to compile RHEL-6 kernel srpm on Fedora 14 and run into the following problem. From what I read
-Werror flag causes warnings to be treated as errors - but I don't see that flag on in the following. Any ideas?

   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
