And,
I haven't even wished for it but just to prove everybody my point: just
built rc4+ from Linus' repo with gcc 4.9.0, see below.
Now all of a sudden there's more noise, maybe because this is a
different .config. However, I doubt those are real bugs.
A cursory look through those shows that they're not really bugs -
gcc simply can't know with all the ifdeffery, partial usage based on
conditionals, etc, etc.
