Huh - I had to go back and see what breadcrumbs show for how I had
configured.  I'm using F12, gcc 4.4.3, and ./config.status --version reports:

configured by ./configure, generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63,
  with options "'CFLAGS=-Wall' '-C'"

Apparently, in this build tree, I _didn't_ use --enable-compile-warnings,
but had manually set CFLAGS myself to a subset of warnings (note to self -
next time I bootstrap, I should use the configure option rather than
trying to do it by hand).  So is there something in plain -Wall that
accidently gets turned back off by --enable-compile-warnings=maximum?

Meanwhile, it would be nice to add -fdiagnostics-show-option to the set of
warning flags attempted by --enable-compile-warnings.  That would have
told us which particular reason I got the warning.  Or perhaps even use
the gnulib module manywarnings, rather than hand-rolling
LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS, so that we pick up benefits from gnulib folks
whenever better approaches for enabling warnings are implemented.  I'll
start a patch series along those lines (post 0.7.7).
