Just a reminder folks - turning things *off* in validate.mk is not a 
good idea, because it can mask errors that will then trip other people 
up.  validate.mk is primarily for turning extra things *on* (e.g. 
profiling), so you can test more stuff if you think your changes may 
affect something that is not part of the standard validate.

For fast builds, use build.mk and tweak the settings there, preferably 
in a separate build tree.
