We've been using it for awhile, and it's not broken anything.  Why are
you so eager to make build changes with potentially wide ramifications
so late in the beta cycle?  I didn't agree with your changes to CFLAGS
yesterday, either.  The risk of breaking things on some platform greatly
outweighs the potential benefits at this stage.
