The -Wextra flag enables -Woverride-init in newer versions of GCC.
This causes the compiler to warn when a value is written twice in a
designated initializer, for example:
int x[1] = {
[0] = 3,
[0] = 3,
};
Note that for clang, this was disabled from the beginning with
-Wno-initializer-overrides in commit a1494304346a3 ("kbuild: add all
Clang-specific flags unconditionally").
This prevents us from implementing complex macros for compile-time
initializers.
For example a macro of the form INITIALIZE_BITMAP(bits...) that can be
used as
static DECLARE_BITMAP(bm, 64) = INITIALIZE_BITMAP(0, 1, 32, 33);
can only be implemented by allowing a designated initializer to
initialize the same members multiple times (because the compiler
complains even if the multiple initializations initialize to the same
value).
Disable the -Woverride-init flag.
