The 'W' switch is for nested container shenanigans.  I think our tests
("make check" and "make check-system") need it.  As it's very natural to
modify the compile command from a prompt, I imagine many users will
simply append "check" and "check-system" to the default command.

Assuming you can compile without the 'W', I'm not opposed to leaving the
command as is.  However, personally I would add the 'W'.
