• Environments :

  1. Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1
  2. Apple clang version 13.1.6 (clang-1316.0.21.2.5)
  3. x86_64-apple-darwin21.4.0

Reproduce with make -i on macOS using Apple clang 13.1.6, then inspect the unused-but-set variables reported across src/lib/vmm, src/lib/pci_*, and src/hyperkit.c. The build is done when these compilation failures no longer prevent the object files and final hyperkit binary from being produced.
