Nope, what David was _actually_ trying to say is to hold off with WARNS
fixes until GCC 3.1 becomes our compiler, because otherwise this is an
almost 100% duplicate of efforts, as GCC 3.1 is so WARNS-different from
GCC 2.95.3.  And of course David should add NO_WERROR (but probably to
Makefile.inc1) to avoid world breakage.
