Julien,

Yes it needs to become an error. Right now its a warning because its
actually set at the top level. Jan suggested dropping it from the top
level and converting this to an error. But before that we need to give
the tools directory an --{enable,disable}-debug. I've got that written
but I'm at the OpenXT Summit and my dev box is off at home.

I apologize that you got bit by this.
