Actually, the real problem here is that we use the middle-end to issue
diagnostics that need to be emitted from the front end.  I've sermonized on this
before: the idea of using the optimizers to detect unused/uninitialized/etc.
variables *sounds* good -- but it leads to all these very real usability
problems, which is why no other compiler does it this way.  There is nothing
that can be done to fix this problem with our current infrastructure, so this is
going to have to wait until (at least) GCC 3.4.
