Please hold your fire! This is not a suggestion to about general
handling of warnings during the build, just a specific gripe I have when
trying to find genuine build failures among the noise.
Would there be any objection to adding '-overrides' to the jdk build?
This lint warning was added after the new build was introduced. I
suspect it would have been suppressed originally if it was supported at
the time.

P.S. how to handle warnings generally will have to be addressed at some
point, but I am not making any proposal at this time.
