Oh yes please.

However, somebody mentioned that this might break compilers other than
gcc, but perhaps we can do what Linux does:

cc-disable-warning = $(call try-run,\
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -W$(strip $(1)) -c -x c /dev/null -o "$$TMP",-Wno-$(strip $(1)))

CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall $(call cc-disable-warning,format-zero-length,)
