Yeah, let's just disable the crazy warning. Maybe some of them are
valid, but it's like the f*cking sign-compare warning: most of them
are just inane noise, and as such the warning is not worth the pain.

I assume (hope) that there is some -Wno-unused-but-set-variable thing
we could do, the same way we do -Wno-trigraphs for another totally
useless gcc warning.
