Comment (by simonsouth):
Yes; this latest patch should clear up these warnings.
* From looking at the code it seems kernel add-ons are really meant to be
built as shared objects (hence the lack of an apparent entry point), which
just happened to be the default behaviour before. Adding `-shared` to the
link options makes this explicit and clears up those warnings.
* The same warning was being issued by the BuildMBR rule, which was using
the `-Xlinker` option incorrectly in an attempt to specify the entry point
to the linker (the GCC manual actually
[https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/Link-Options.html#index-
Xlinker-1054 warns about this misuse]). A bit of reformatting fixes this
as well.
