So you will always have the extra checks enabled. You also need to move the assignments down. As it is now any kbuild file that assign EXTRA_CFLAGS with EXTRA_CFLAGS := -D DEBUG Will drop all the extra warnings. >From Makefile.build: # If the save-* variables changed error out ifeq ($(KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC),) ifneq ("$(save-cflags)","$(CFLAGS)") $(error CFLAGS was changed in "$(kbuild-file)".

I suggest to use KBUILD_CFLAGS that is an KBUILD internal variable.
