I'm using an older version:
	$ gcc --version
	gcc (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.3, pie-0.5.5) 4.7.3

Odd.  I'll move up to 4.8 and try that...

Nope, same problem, here's one example line:
	drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ap.c: In function ‘rtw_ap_inform_ch_switch’:
	drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/core/rtw_ap.c:1773:16: warning: unused variable ‘irqL’ [-Wunused-variable]
	  unsigned long irqL;

This is x86-64, could that be an issue?

thanks,
