Sure, I could have been less verbose. I seem to recall maintainers
desiring the full compiler output at times so that it is easier to see
what the issue is and how the patch fixes the warning but obviously that
is going to vary from maintainer to maintainer. I can send a v2 with
that trimmed if desired or Christian could just axe it when applying if
he really cares? I guess squashing this into the original change would
make this irrelevant too.
