Subject: bug#8866: 23.3.50; flymake-mode colors warnings as errors

From: Reuben Thomas <[email-masked]>

In emacs -Q, I visit a C file, M-x flymake-mode, and introduce a
warning-inducing problem. The background of the line goes pink, which is
the error face, not the warning face. (I confirm this is a warning by
running M-x compile and verifying that all the messages start
“warning:”).
