Could you post a kernel patch for that? I would be happy to test it on my
SH-7785CLR board. Also, I'm going to file a bug report against GCC.

I filed the bug already. It's
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108483.
The diff is attached. It's published as CC0 in case anyone considers
this trivial change copyrightable. This patch prevents this one specific
warning from being upgraded to "error" even if you configure the kernel
to use "-Werror". It still keeps it active as warning, though.
Kind regards,
Michael Karcher

I used the following variant and it fixes the issue for me:
diff --git a/arch/sh/Makefile b/arch/sh/Makefile
index 5c8776482530..11b22f7167d2 100644

If you agree, can you post a patch to LKML so we can unbreak the SH build for CONFIG_WERROR?
Thanks,
Adrian
