Are those errors new ? This series and the one from yesterday on ppc64, 
I have the feeling that the code is not new. Has anything changed in the 
building flags or does this pops up with recent versions of GCC ? If it 
is the case it is worth saying it in the commit messages in order to 
clarify the reason for the fix.
