I much prefer a compile-time thing. Performance is, to me, paramount for "checker". I don't want to slow it down, I'm hoping that some day we can just enable C=1 by default in the kernel build (this is a _long_ time off, though, don't you all start worrying now). I don't see anything wrong with a compile/install time thing, that is, after all, how gcc too works.
