Also, there's an inconsistency between Makefile vs
scripts/Makefile.extrawarn that's been bugging me: it seems we enable
GCC only flags in Makefile, then disable certain Clang flags in
scripts/Makefile.extrawarn.  Not necessary to fix here and now, but I
hope one day to have one file that has all of the compiler specific
flags in one place (maybe its own file), so I only have to look in one
place.  I know, I know, "patches welcome." ;)
