Gcc 4.6.0 causes build of kernel26-lts-ck to fail [SOLVED]

Question

Ever since the bump to gcc 4.6.0, I have been unable to build my kernel26-lts-ck package.  It worked fine under the previous version of gcc.  Here are the last few lines (note that that "warning: variable ‘xxx’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]" is EVERYWHERE since 4.6.0.
Note: this happens at the "make modules" step of the process; the "make bzImage" completes without indecent.

Thoughts and suggestion are appreciated.

And just to keep all the information here too...   I guess this is the patch you need:
