commit 68df3755e383e6fecf2354a67b08f92f18536594
Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>

Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGS
This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping
arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie
things like
if (ptr + offset < ptr)
which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597
for details.
Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional
(it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).
