It damn well should check for warnings.
And if you can't bother eye-balling it or scripting it, then simply use
make KCFLAGS=-Werror
but sadly I can't enforce that in general for all kernel builds simply
because some people use compilers that cause new warnings (compiler
updates etc commonly result in them, for example).
So I can't add -Werror in general, but developers can certainly use it
trivially.
No grep or other scripting required (although the above may cause
problems for that one sample file that does cause warnings - I didn't
check).
