    OK, what about the runtime warning with no requirement for a special flag to
    enable attachment.

    I don't necessarily agree. It's easy to miss in all the build noise (most
    average users don't do make -s). And the warning isn't that fierce (it
    complains about a prototype mismatch), so even if it's noticed, it might get
    ignored. At least if we have a run time warning, it's in the logs for all to
    see when a problem gets posted to any given mailing list.
