It looks like this was already suggested by Tom too.
See http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/183174/

I tested this patch but unfortunatelly it did not work.


I downloaded bfin-linux-gcc 4.6.3 from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/index.html

I added -Werror to config.mk and I tried:

     CROSS_COMPILE=bfin-linux- ./MAKEALL -a blackfin

The log message was still sprinkled with lots of warnings like
warning: -fstack-usage not supported for this target [enabled by default]

So, I looked into it more closely and
I found gcc can compile the input file /dev/null successfully
even if -fstack-usage is not supported.


     $ bfin-uclinux-gcc -fstack-usage -S -xc /dev/null
     $ echo $?
     0
     $ bfin-uclinux-gcc -Werror -fstack-usage -S -xc /dev/null
     $ echo $?
     0



Instead of /dev/null, I prepared a very simple C source code as an input.

     $ cat test.c
     int test(void)
     {
         return 0;
     }
     $ bfin-uclinux-gcc -fstack-usage -S -xc test.c
     test.c: In function 'test':
     test.c:4:1: warning: -fstack-usage not supported for this target [enabled 
by default]
     $ echo $?
     0
     $ bfin-uclinux-gcc -fstack-usage -Werror -S -xc test.c
     test.c: In function 'test':
     test.c:4:1: error: -fstack-usage not supported for this target [-Werror]
     cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
     $ echo $?
     1

This time we can detect unsupported -fstack-usage by the exit status.

So, along with -Werror, I think /dev/null should also be replaced
with some _REAL_ C source file.
But my concern about this treak is we might go far from Kbuild.
In Linux Kernel, cc-option is impilemented in scripts/Kbuild.include.
It uses /dev/null as input.
I wish U-Boot would someday adopt (not nessarily the same but very
similar) Kbuild.

If you see Linux Kernel top Makefile,
many of optional CFLAGS are provided thru cc-option and
also can be turned on/off by CONFIG_ switch.

That is one reason I suggested to introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKUSAGE option.
But this is just my opinion and I would not necessarily stick to this idea.
Please feel free to suggest your thought.



I tried to google this a bit, one thing I found was
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5210, but I fail
to (easily) find a reliable gcc reference. Perhaps we should
file a bug? -Werror doesn't work with /dev/null when
-fstack-usage is not supported...

I cannot comment on your concern regarding Kbuild, since I
am unaware of its internals. I just suggested above since
it would be a cleaner approach (if it worked...).

Regards,
Jeroen
