    It is supposed to go into the kernel, which is not exactly warning-free.
    Besides, you don't know what idiotic new warnings the gcc people might
    dream up the next round, so just relying on no warnings is extremely
    unwise.
    
    As was said before: It it is /really/ wrong, arrange for it not to compile
    or not to link. If it isn't, well... then it wasn't that wrong anyway.
