We turn on -Werror for all of arch/powerpc by default (unless CONFIG_PPC_DISABLE_WERROR=y), but the syscall checking script is not under arch/powerpc so shouldn't be affected by that. cheers

syscall statx not implemented on powerpc
Hi, I've just attempted to build a powerpc kernel from 4.11-rc2 using a custom defconfig (available on request) and I'm hitting the following error in the early stages of compilation. :1325:2: error: #warning syscall statx not implemented [-Werror=cpp] Same thing seems to happen with mpc85xx_basic_defconfig. I don't actually need this syscall so I'd be happy to turn something off to get things building. I did a quick search and couldn't see anything on linuxppc-dev but google keeps correcting "statx" to "stats" so I could have missed it.
