It is possible that the kernel toolchain generates warnings when used
together with the system toolchain. This happens for example when the
older kernel toolchain does not handle new versions of sframe debug
information. While these warnings where ignored during the evaluation
of CC_CAN_LINK, together with CONFIG_WERROR the actual userprog build
will later fail.
Example warning:
.../x86_64-linux/13.2.0/../../../../x86_64-linux/bin/ld:
error in /lib/../lib64/crt1.o(.sframe); no .sframe will be created
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Make sure that the very simple example program does not generate
warnings already to avoid breaking the userprog compilations.
Fixes: ec4a3992bc0b ("kbuild: respect CONFIG_WERROR for linker and assembler")
Fixes: 3f0ff4cc6ffb ("kbuild: respect CONFIG_WERROR for userprogs")
