I don't disagree, but that's a bigger change than what was requested on
the project page.  One problem at a time, please.

Speaking of problems:  I've made -W print a "this is deprecated" warning,
but 'make check-gcc' doesn't give me any failures.  I don't even see the
"deprecated" text show up in the .log files.  Surely something should be
failing?
