If there is consensus on the asterisk-developer side, i will make the required Makefile change to suppress this waning. I would like to make sure that you agree to drop the -Wunused-value warning, before i do so. So please report back.

Agreed !

So if anybody else thinks we should drop this warning let me know, and we'll drop it.
