Even the above link doesn't explain it to me.
What is it that gives this crazy garbage warning?
It looks like Randy Dunlap compiles with the '-Wmain' flag, and then complains about it hurting.
It's a classic case of "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I hit myself in the head with an ice pick".
The solution is not to take some Ibuprofen.
The solution is DON'T DO THAT THEN.
People who build with W=2 or some other crazy thing need to understand that the bad warnings it exposes are not kernel problems, they are THEIR problems.
