These architectures are doing it wrong, aren't they?  They should be
using the CONFIG_WERROR infrastructure rather than hard-coding it?  If
so then sure, a standalone patch to clean that up sounds sounds
appropriate.  I guess it should precede "Makefile.extrawarn: turn on
missing-prototypes globally".
