    Only compile the hypervisor with -Wdeclaration-after-statement · 40be6307
    Julien Grall authored
    Right now, all tools and hypervisor will be complied with the option
    -Wdeclaration-after-statement. While most of the code in the hypervisor
    is controlled by us, for tools we may import external libraries.
    
    The build will fail if one of them are using the construct we are
    trying to prevent. This is the case when building against Python 3.12
    and Yocto:

    Looking at the tools directory, a fair few directory already add
    -Wno-declaration-after-statement to inhibit the default behavior.
    
    We have always build the hypervisor with the flag, so for now remove
    only the flag for anything but the hypervisor. We can decide at later
    time whether we want to relax.
    
    Also remove the -Wno-declaration-after-statement in some subdirectory
    as the flag is now unnecessary.
