Yeah, I am actuall hoping that somebody clever, with time, comes up

think it is better to honestly record where we are to future
developers.
I faced a similar issue with the -Wunused-parameter patches. Just when I
thought I had everything annotated, I'd find some obscure Makefile knob
that compiled new code (or even in one case disabled some code that used
a variable!).

But at least in this case, the old "if it is important, somebody will
build it and report the problem" line of thinking worked out. So maybe
that is enough.
Ah, I guess the debugging situation is quite similar with that
topic. Thanks for your insight.
