Hm...  yes, it seems like this (or something else recently) increased
the "make -j32" build time from 1:08m to 1:17m, which is pretty
significant.  I'm doing further rebuilds to see if that's indeed the
culprit.

It's a general issue with adding variables that are supposed to be safe
file-local in this way, I guess?  Perhaps we should instead `put' the
safe-local stuff in a central file that doesn't trigger loading the file
where the variable is defined?
