Shouldn't this be an error? The option -fpatchable-function-entry has
been added to the CC_FLAGS_FTRACE, so any call to the compiler is gonna
break anyway. Or am I missing something?  

This should be the case.

OK, I see what you mean. If the resulting build wont boot, then yes
this should be an error and not a warning.

No, there won't be a binary because the first gcc invocation with
CC_FLAGS_FTRACE will error out.

The alternatives are a makefile-warning followed by a gcc-error or just
a makefile-error. The makefile warning or error should hint at the causing
config option, that's the key point. Beyond that I don't have any preference.
