It's been a long while ago that I noticed and fixed the warning, so
I don't recall the details. What I do know is that I didn't force any
extra flags, and that a similar issue elsewhere in the tree (fixed
in 3.19-rc5) triggered the same warning in at least one of my builds
(again without any extra warning options) in -rc4.
