The above might look unimportant to you, but with some wildly
different numbers shown it certainly should be noticed and reported.

Nevertheless, that's my advice.  If you are sensitive to unusual
messages during the build, you will catch issues sooner rather than
later.  I hope you and others _will_ notice unusual messages, because
we then can find and react to problems much faster.

Some messages don't have any pertinent file name/line number
information attached to them.  That doesn't mean they are unimportant.
