------------------------------+---------------------------
 See mailing list for discussion, but essentially 1.56 Preprocessor turns
 on variadic macro support for clang which spews many megabytes of warnings
 on clang versions 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. This is unacceptable for a 1.56
 release, it would be embarrassing.

 Adding the above warning suppression makes the problem go away.
