kbuild: enable -Wformat-truncation on clang
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This warning option still produces output on gcc but is now clean when
building with clang, so enable it conditionally on the compiler for now.

As far as I can tell, the remaining warnings with gcc are the result of
analysing the code more deeply across inlining, while clang only does this
within a function.
