I see no sign of any activity on this in the past week.  We're more than a 
month behind schedule - can we please just freeze?  Freeze delays should 
only be for something user-visible - not anything purely internal about 
build warnings - and only where there is significant active work (if it's 
freeze time and there are unresolved problems with a recent change and no 
active work on fixing them, the default should be to revert the change and 
work getting it back for the following release).  -Wundef should not have 
occasioned a freeze delay unless patches posted *by the end of June* were 
substantially complete and satisfactory for resolving all the warnings, 
with only a few revisions needed following review.
