That would be one more hassle to maintain.  I'd rather not bother dealing with 
software archaeology.  Just configure with --disable-gcc-warnings.  Or you can 
remove your .git subdirectory, as it's likely to cause other such problems, as 
the assumption is that if you're using bleeding-edge sources you will have 
up-to-date tools.
