[PATCH] cutils: squelch compiler warnings with custom paths
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 7 months ago
Setting --bindir= to an absolute path that is shorter than the
prefix causes GCC to complain about array accesses out of bounds.
The code however is safe, so disable the warning and explain why
we are doing so.
