It means we get the warning for any argument to W=, not just W=1, but
that's probably fine. I'd like to one day clean up the clang warnings
and those that we disable unconditionally in the top-level Makefile
so that each warning gets enabled at a specific level. For the time
being, I'm happy with the packed-not-aligned disabled by default.
