Change 14048 won't help here. I suggest just removing c++-compat. It just
serves to make things more difficult and C that much more unpleasant to use.
Why do we care about using a C++ compiler to build C code?

That warning is barely compatible with Wbad-function-cast, it requires casting
enums to int, and is just all around yucky IMO.
