I think making it configure-time would essentially render this change 
useless

I can't imagine anyone distributing GDB without native support where the 
distributor doesn't do it on purpose, so from their PoV it makes sense 
to disable the warning. However, a user in a Mac using M-series CPUs 
might not recognize or understand what they're reading, so this warning 
would be important but disabled for them.

What I'm thinking is making -q suppress this warning, would that be 
enough for you?
