Bug Description

With GCC 4.6, the bzr trunk doesn't compile due to unused variable warnings :
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-marc/aur-burg-bzr/src/burg/efiemu/main.c: In function ‘grub_efiemu_prepare’:
/tmp/yaourt-tmp-marc/aur-burg-bzr/src/burg/efiemu/main.c:288:14: erreur: variable ‘err’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Here's a patch to solve all the warnings reported by gcc 4.6 (at least for -Werror compiled sections).

You can also work around this by disabling the treatment of warnings as errors, via a parameter to the configure script:

./configure --disable-werror
make

This is safe to do if the only warnings you're seeing during the make are "variable 'whatever' set but not used" because those warnings are completely innocuous.

As you said, it's only a workaround. The real problem is the presence of warnings, which can be corrected (see the patch).
