If it compiles and links and gcc guessed the prototype correctly 
everything is fine. If it compiles and links and gcc guessed the 
prototype wrongly, you have a hard to find runtime error...

I'd love to add this flag to the global Makefile, but Andrew always 
rejected it because it turns link errors into compile errors (sic) 
breaking his powerpc all*config builds due to virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt. 
But then he rejected to mark virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt as __deprecated on 
i386 because it currently generates some warnings...  :-(
