+KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN
+-----------------
+Specify the extra build checks. The same value can be assigned by passing
+W=... from the command line.

For consistency reasons might be better:

- @echo ' make W=n [targets] Enable extra gcc checks, n=1,2,3 where'
+ @echo ' make W=n [targets] Enable extra build checks, n=1,2,3 where'
