Ah, that makes a lot more sense, well do that, thanks a lot.

Howeever, $^W is an obsolete feature that breaks a lot of code, so
anything that still uses it is in need of fixing. I know make test
usually runs tests with -w, but if enabling warnings for foreign code
breaks anything, then whoever forced warnings on gets to keep the pieces
normally.

If your patch is part of some work fixing this $^W mess, then all the
power to you, thank you very much :)
