Ah-ha, I see what's happening. When not built with
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, fortify-string.h isn't included. But since misc.c
has the function definition, we get a warning that the function
declaration was never seen. This is likely the better solution:
diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c
index b70e4a21c15f..3f21a5e218f8 100644

error("detected buffer overflow");
}

Jeff, can you test this? (I still haven't been able to reproduce the
warning.)
