Yeah, it will take a while for everyone to catch up.

Because buildbot does not build with --enable-debug.

Patches welcome.

Patches welcome.

Hmmm, not sure how to fix that one.  I'll ponder.

I see your email client is still not UTF-8.

This file is autogeneraed by Bison.  Upstream bug.  Good luck getting
that one fixed.

Not bogus at all.  It means we are telling the c compiler to do
something it refuses to do.  When the C compiler starts doing things the
programmer did not explicitly ask for that is worrisome.  Not horrible,
but needs to be fixed.

Which is why this warning is not shown with normal builds.
