The -Wunused-command-line-argument warning also caused a build
failure for me when building with 'make W=1', and I think there are
cases where the flags from the command line are contradictory.

Isn't the patch also needed for LTO? All I know is that with this
applied it all builds, but without it I run into link failures. I can dig
more into the specific failures, but overall I think this is the right
thing to do anyway.
