Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 129/165] kbuild: Disable -Wunused-but-set-variable for gcc 4.6.0

From: Dave Jones <davej@...hat.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit af0e5d565d2fffcd97d1e2d89669d627cc04e8b8 upstream.

Disable the new -Wunused-but-set-variable that was added in gcc 4.6.0
It produces more false positives than useful warnings.

This can still be enabled using W=1
