Yeah, I think the only downside is the cognitive burden on individual
developers who try -Wall and have to figure out that we need
-Wno-zero-format-length (and that the warnings are not interesting).

It would be nice to add it automatically to CFLAGS, but I do not know if
we can reliably detect from the Makefile that we are compiling under
gcc.
