I don't like this very much. Maybe we should get rid of both do_* and
do it with flags? But maybe it is not worth the additional code at
all...

Anyway, I am wondering why unused-but-set-variable is disabled while
unused-variable is enabled. Shouldn't we just disable it as well rather
than workaround this in the code? The warning is just pure noise in this
case.
What about something like:

Subject: [PATCH] Makefiles: Disable unused-variable warning

We are already disabling unused-but-set-variable and Wunused-variable
produces some noise as well.
