The missing errno.h in that log is due to missing dependencies in the
fanotify patch - it causes build failures whenever a toolchain without
C library support is used to build the kernel. I already reported this.

The unused variable error bisects to 'irq: mips: simplify do_domain_IRQ()'.
I'll send a report as response to that patch in a minute.

It all adds up ... there seem to be a lot of last minute changes in -next.
