Hi Jon, sure.
One I had noted down was:
WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: '调用debugfs_rename'
which I believe occurred in the chinese translation.
I think the problem is that in chinese there normally isn't space between the words, so even if I had made the regexes only match the beginning of the word (which I didn't, but I fixed this in this patch with the \b), it would still try to cross-reference to that symbol containing chinese characters, which is unparsable to sphinx.
So since valid identifiers in C are only in ASCII anyway, I used the ASCII flag to make \w, and \d only match ASCII characters, otherwise they match any unicode character.
If you want to have a look at other warnings or more complete output let me know and I will recompile those versions. That sentence was the only thing I noted down, but I think it gives a good idea of the problem.
Thanks, Nícolas
