Being Jenkins being bogged down/broken recently and "make tinderbox", etc be=
ing broken, it's harder to track when things break unless you do careful ins=
pection (speaking of which, this reminds me that I need to setup Jenkins at w=
ork to emulate jenkins.freebsd.org). I definitely appreciate knobs like this=
 because it gives folks the ability to toggle things on/off if issues are fo=
und, either specific to their use case or not.

This change (for instance), might cause grief with an older/different versio=
n of gcc.

Thanks,
