eh.  They're easy - the build system tells you about them!

The list is here:

Question is: why do people keep adding new ones when they are so easy to
detect and fix?

Another way to look at it... All of a sudden, different from 2.6.24, kernel 2.6.25-git build spews so many warnings that I need to disable section mismatch checking completely, because there is so much noise that __normal build messages scroll off the screen__.
