The -Wnested-externs warning has become useless with gcc, since
this warns every time that BUILD_BUG_ON() or similar macros
are used.

Also see:

Actually, just delete this line altogether. -Wnested-externs is a GCC
only warning, the flag is only present in clang for compatibility with
GCC:

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wnested-externs

With that, my reviewed by still stands.

Cheers,

I agree.



Arnd, will you send v2?

Please include
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wnested-externs
