We used to do this, but I removed them in commit 987b10b3.  My
thinking was that CFLAGS is up to the user.  I still think that's
the right thing to do.  We do add -Wall -Wextra with gcc but those
don't cause compilation failure (and I've thought about removing
them).

On a related theme, separate from Lyndon's useful builtbot, would there
be usefulness in list members being able to easily get
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nmh.git/snapshot/nmh-master.tar.gz and

Is there any advantage of using that instead of git clone?  Other
not needing git, but they'd have to provide the various build
prerequisites anyway.

run all the way through to distcheck, chucking in a tools/showbuildenv,
with the output, good or bad, being emailed or POSTed somewhere.

Add a -m <address> option to build_nmh?

Speaking of showbuildenv, I just tried it and noticed that it hangs
when run from a terminal due to commit 8374c3c7.  offset() needs to be
fed stdin.

Minimal effort by those buildman, giving them a script to run.

build_nmh, with a few other additions (curl or wget, showbuildenv)?
