The change breaks the fix that the code was put in to deal with,
ie that pixman-0.16's header files generate warnings, which the
default development qemu will turn into errors with -Werror, which
means we won't compile.

This is because not all versions of gcc have the push/pop warning
pragma.

This appears to be a bug in Fedora.
I guess the correct workaround for that bug is going to be either:
* wrap assert.h the same way we wrap pixman.h
* drop -Wredundant-decls :-(
