Yep.  I get the same issue.  That's annoying...
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

We're not the only ones finding this:

Surprisingly, I built my most recent 2.6.38 ARM kernel with GCC 4.6.0
and didn't hit this.  I'd expect this to get fixed in upcoming kernel
releases, either by getting rid of the Werror=unused-but-set-variable
or by getting rid of those variables.  For now, getting rid of Werror
(what you did) is probably the best way.
