In particular, gcc complains as follows: CC sparse-llvm.o <command line>:1:1: warning: "__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS" redefined <command line>:1:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition <command line>:1:1: warning: "__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS" redefined <command line>:1:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition <command line>:1:1: warning: "__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS" redefined <command line>:1:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition The warnings are caused by the macros being defined twice on the gcc command line. These command line -D macro definitions come originally from the output of 'llvm-config --cflags', which is recorded in the $(LLVM_CFLAGS) variable. This variable is then included in the $(BASIC_CFLAGS) variable twice due to duplication of the target-specific additions to the BASIC_CFLAGS, viz: sparse-llvm_EXTRA_DEPS := sparse-llvm.o sparse-llvm.o $(sparse-llvm_EXTRA_DEPS): BASIC_CFLAGS += $(LLVM_CFLAGS) In order to suppress the warnings, we remove the duplication of the sparse-llvm.o target in the above rule.
