Hi Alan,

A sparc allmodconfig build gives these warnings:

These are things like:

termios->c_cc[VTIME] = 0;

termios is a (struct ktermios *) which has "cc_t c_cc[NCCS];". NCCS is
17 and VTIME is also 17. I assume the intention is to actually fill in
_x_cc[0], but why is it done this way and not more directly?

There is a patch here that fixes it: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sparc&m=122048348932653&w=2
