builtin-kvm.c:1513:12: error: no previous prototype for
'kvm_add_default_arch_event' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
int __weak kvm_add_default_arch_event(int *argc __maybe_unused,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
mv: cannot stat './.builtin-kvm.o.tmp': No such file or directory
With the build fix:
