Not too late, collected.

Agreed, but we already have:

CORE_CFLAGS += -Wall
CORE_CFLAGS += -Wextra

We can se it for this specific case with:

$ make V=1 -k BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 CORESIGHT=1 PYTHON=python3 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin | grep jevents
make -f /var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/build/Makefile.build dir=pmu-events obj=jevents
  gcc -Wp,-MD,/tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/.jevents.o.d -Wp,-MT,/tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents.o  -D"BUILD_STR(s)=#s" -I/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/include  -c -o /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents.o pmu-events/jevents.c
   ld -r -o /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents-in.o  /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/json.o /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jsmn.o /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents.o
gcc /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents-in.o -o /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents
/tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/jevents x86 pmu-events/arch /tmp/build/perf/pmu-events/pmu-events.c 1
jevents: Processing mapfile pmu-events/arch/x86/mapfile.csv

Humm... no "-Wall -Wextra" there... lemme try to fix it
