8.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Sep 27 18:45:57 UTC 2011     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

>Description:
/sys/conf/kern.mk:

CWARNFLAGS?= -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs
-Wstrict-prototypes \
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual
\
${_wundef} ${_Wno_pointer_sign} -fformat-extensions

-fformat-extensions parameter is invalid, does not present in GCC 4.2 docs and is not accepted (with error) by GCC 4.6
>How-To-Repeat:
Install custom GCC as described in handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html

try to compile one of the ports that uses kernel sources:

# cd /usr/ports/emulators/open-vm-tools
# make
>Fix:
Remove the '-fformat-extensions' from string 15 of /sys/conf/kern.mk
