This is an interresting list. It might be a bit biased by the version
of GCC used by Joel, but it either means that these targets aren't
properly maintained, or that its maintainer needs to be educated about
-Werror. Or perhaps we should enable -Werror by default on the main
branch. Anyway, we should consider these targets aa candidates for
removal after 6.4.

Kevin, looks like you forgot to check in some crucial part for ms1.
