Thanks Nick! When I try this it causes new build failures.
Specifically EXTRA_WARNINGS includes things like -Wswitch-enum that
trigger:

```
check.c:1312:10: error: 14 enumeration values not explicitly handled
in switch: 'INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC',
'INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC_CONDITIONAL', 'INSN_CALL_DYNAMIC'... [-Werror,-Wswitch-enum]
       switch (insn->type) {
               ^~~~~~~~~~
check.c:2620:11: error: enumeration value 'OP_SRC_CONST' not
explicitly handled in switch [-Werror,-
Wswitch-enum]
               switch (op->src.type) {
                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~
check.c:3447:11: error: 5 enumeration values not explicitly handled in
switch: 'INSN_BUG', 'INSN_NOP
', 'INSN_TRAP'... [-Werror,-Wswitch-enum]
               switch (insn->type) {
                       ^~~~~~~~~~
check.c:3647:11: error: 9 enumeration values not explicitly handled in
switch: 'INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH'
, 'INSN_BUG', 'INSN_STAC'... [-Werror,-Wswitch-enum]
               switch (insn->type) {
                       ^~~~~~~~~~
check.c:4008:10: error: 9 enumeration values not explicitly handled in
switch: 'INSN_CONTEXT_SWITCH'
, 'INSN_BUG', 'INSN_STAC'... [-Werror,-Wswitch-enum]
       switch (insn->type) {
               ^~~~~~~~~~
check.c:4173:11: error: 15 enumeration values not explicitly handled
in switch: 'INSN_JUMP_CONDITION
AL', 'INSN_JUMP_UNCONDITIONAL', 'INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC_CONDITIONAL'...
[-Werror,-Wswitch-enum]
               switch (insn->type) {
                       ^~~~~~~~~~
6 errors generated.
```

What should the next step be? Land this or add EXTRA_WARNINGS and fix
all the issues?

Thanks,
Ian
