I wasn't adding EXTRA_WARNINGS but they are set up here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/tools/scripts/Makefile.include?id=630ae80ea1dd253609cb50cff87f3248f901aca3#n23

I've avoided in these changes passing through values from
Makefile.include to the subprocesses, like Makefile.build, as
Makefile.include makes choices based on the current flags like clang
and llvm, not those we override.

Note, the first patch is already in Arnaldo's tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/commit/?h=perf/core&id=630ae80ea1dd253609cb50cff87f3248f901aca3
and shows up in linux-next:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/tools/lib/subcmd/Makefile?id=630ae80ea1dd253609cb50cff87f3248f901aca3

Thanks,
Ian
