 You don't get the warning unless you re-link your app - in which case it would
 be better to recompile and the warning would be gone. And it's only a warning
 anyway.
 
 The warning helps us to remember adding a similar construct for ppc or others
 later. I don't realy care about it - if others feel it should go away, that's
 fine with me.
