    As before: built on my workstation's bare-metal install, then installed
    using NFS in the virtual host.

    I should note that I don't get errors (of course), but I do get
    a few warnings that look like this:

    drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_main.c:3737:1: warning: the
    frame size of 1048 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

    I'm unsure if these are worth reporting, because surely the kernel
    developers see these too.

    If you were to build all software "from scratch" you would notice
    that a lot of packages emit oodles and oodles of such warnings.
    Everything always seen to run fine in spite of it.

    To eliminate all such warnings, i.e. code clean up, would
    be a big job for developers and I guess that's why they
    don't do it.
