Hi Alexandre! What do you think about dropping that warning altogether, or at least allowing packages like the coreutils to disable that part of -Wall? NEWS-OS users can always build/use a better version of make than the vendor-supplied one. We shouldn't be catering to broken systems that are used by so few people -- certainly not when the catering would involve degrading a package even a little.
