But I've become innoculated against warnings, just because we have too many of the totally useless noise about deprecation and crud, and ppc has it's own set of bogus compiler-and-linker-generated warnings.. At some point we should get rid of all the "politeness" warnings, just because they can end up hiding the _real_ ones. "pm_register is deprecated" etc - I get almost a hundred lines of warnings in my default build (and half of those are sadly due to powerpc binutils, that I can't do anythign about: "section .init.text exceeds stub group size" etc, which is harmless _other_ than the fact that it helped hide the real warnings just because I've grown too used to not looking too closely).
