Thanks for trying this with a different MACHINE and confirming it's
there too.

Is there any way to set the flags per compilation unit, or
per-directory? According to the source layout, the problem is in a file
identified as "third party". In that case it's understandable that
someone else's code has an issue. But it would be nice to keep this flag
for the core chromium build (since that's what the chromium developers set).

Maybe a newer version already has a fix for this in the code (which
would be a better place to fix an issue such as this)?
