Since -Wno-uninitialized actually turns off some warnings, I think you would
want it in WARNS=2 as well. One question: is the WARNS thing intended to be
compatible with some other OS?
Oh, and -Wcast-align looks like it could be useful in tracking down those pesky
alignment faults on non-i386, so putting that in WARNS=4 might be useful.
