so, to enable warnings you have to fix the code, which will make
updating it harder later.

can you just not enable the warnings?  i'm hoping to update this
unfortunately some what out of date code base (xorg-server) soon,
and going on what i've seen lately, basically *every local change*
will cause conflicts.  i wish i was being hyperbolic :-(
