From: Arnd Bergmann arnd@arndb.de
commit 75e2f0a6b16141cb347f442033ec907380d4d66e upstream.
When building the kernel with "make EXTRA_CFLAGS=...", this overrides the "PARANOID" preprocessor macro defined in arch/x86/math-emu/Makefile, and we run into a build warning:
arch/x86/math-emu/reg_compare.c: In function ‘compare_i_st_st’: arch/x86/math-emu/reg_compare.c:254:6: error: ‘f’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
This fixes the implementation to work correctly even without the PARANOID flag, and also fixes the Makefile to not use the EXTRA_CFLAGS variable but instead use the ccflags-y variable in the Makefile that is meant for this purpose.
