Error building for PPC

["Jong Chen" <jong dot chen at nrl dot navy dot mil>]

I'm trying ct-ng to build for "powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe"

The build is failing on the build of the C library (see log file below).  It
looks like there is a potential for an unused initialized variable to be
used in the C library.  GCC has been configured to error on uninitilized
variables (-Werror=uninitialized).  This is causing by ct-ng build to fail.
I thought that one way to work around the issue would be to use "ct-ng
menuconfig" and add the '-W' option to the "Extra build compiler flags" so
that I won't get any warning messages.  But from looking at the build line
below it does not look like my '-W' flag is getting passed to the compiler.
How can I work around this issue?
