So after more digging, at least some clarity has surfaced. It looks like it's not a kernel source tree issue, it's a g++ issue fixed in g++ 6 and later. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69959 And it looks like there was an intent to backport it to 4.9 and 5.4: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2016-02/msg01409.html The bugtracker doesn't show an equivalent for 69959 being closed against 4.9.x or 5.[56], https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63254 has a patch for one of the gcc-supplied files that tosses the warning, but that way lies madness... Not sure what we want to do here - the main alternatives I see are: Tell people still using 4.9/5.4 to either live with the warning or upgrade to 6 or later Make the flag a variable and pass either -std=gnu++98 or -std=gnu++11 depending on the output of 'g++ --version' What say the peanut gallery?
