I tend to do "make >make.out 2>make.err" and then look at make.err.
The normal situation with a gcc build is that make.err contains one or
two warnings due to flex's bad habits. We could possibly get that down
to zero if we wanted to work at it. However, most non-gcc compilers
I've looked at generate dozens of mostly-silly warnings, so I'm not sure
if the buildfarm could use this technique or not.
