Aha.  Looks like it's of more use than theoretical pain; sounds
like this should (effectively) be the default for *non-releases*
when cross-compiling, with the possibility to override
per-target.  Agreement?  Anyone against?  1/2 :)

It should be per-target because there *may* be port-specific
constructs warned about by buggy previous-but-not-ancient
gcc-versions, where working around the warnings would cause
unwanted obfuscation.  (IIRC gdb does something like this.)

Is that the reason it's not the default, that there are such
constructs in the non-port-specific parts?  But then that would
have already been noticed through use of the config-list.mk, no?

brgds, H-P
