This seems ok, but why these particular compiler settings used?  These
aren't the default for cmucl.

I agree with your analysis; style warnings are counted as warnings.

I'll make the suggested change soon.  I vaguely remember some issues
with this long ago, and I thought they show up in the ansi-tests, but
I tested the snapshot version with a version with your suggested
change and there's no difference.  I don't know what the issue can be
anymore.
