Re: [PATCH 0/2] powerpc/sstep: Fix compilation on 32-bit PowerPC

Two local variables were only set but never read on 32-bit PowerPC,
which causes an error during compilation.

Are those errors new ? This series and the one from yesterday on ppc64, 
I have the feeling that the code is not new. Has anything changed in the 
building flags or does this pops up with recent versions of GCC ? If it 
is the case it is worth saying it in the commit messages in order to 
clarify the reason for the fix.

This series first makes the 64-bit guards consistent by converting all
uses of CONFIG_PPC64 to use __powerpc64__ instead, and then guard the
two variables rc and suffix behind __powerpc64__ checks.

Link Mauve (2):
   powerpc/sstep: Consistently use one define to check arch bit width
   powerpc/sstep: Don’t define variables we won’t be using
