For 4.19.218 at least this commit seems to cause a build failure for
cpupower, if warnings are treated as errors, I have not seen the same
for the 5.10.80 build:

gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -DVERSION=\"4.19\" -DPACKAGE=\"cpupower\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"Debian\ \(reportbug\ linux-cpupower\)\" -D_GNU_SOURCE -pipe -DNLS -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wpointer-arith
 -Wsign-compare -Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wshadow -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -o /home/build/linux-4.19.218/debian/build/build-tools/tools/power/cpupower/lib/cpupower.o -c lib/cpupower.c
