[PATCH] kbuild: fix W=1 with gcc 4.3.2

From: Sam Ravnborg
Date: Thu Apr 21 2011 - 17:08:58 EST


Building a kernel using W=1 with gcc 4.3.2 failed like this:

cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wpacked-bitfield-compat"

Make use of this option dependent on the compiler.

I do not see this a stable material - people running stable kernels
have less value of W=1.

And the amount of warnings are outright silly. We should really
divide this up a bit so W=1 is semi usefull.
