This warning message ultimately comes from glibc, via a .gnu.warning
section. May I suggest that all such messages be modifed to have
"warning: " at the beginning, so it is obvious that they are not
errors?
Conversely, all gcc error messages could start with "error: ". Man,
would that make grepping build script output for errors easier.
Guess that'll never happen, though...
