Right.  This is a 'quirk' of my current process.

I build once, then use a script to parse the output, fixing each
issue in the order the compiler presents them.  Then, either after
fixing a reasonable collection, or all issues, I re-run the compile
and fix the next batch (if any).

This patch is only fixing the formatting issue(s).  As you've seen,
there is a subsequent patch in the series which fixes the disparity.

I can squash them though.  No problem.
