Perhaps so; all the same, it's creating extra work for no reason. I'm
not going to demand you revert the changes you've already made, but
please don't do it any more.

Perhaps we should create a new set of make variables called
HIDE_WARNINGS_* for the common cases that appear in these
conditionals, since there's only a handful of them that repeat over
and over again. Then the conditional logic itself can be centralized.
