This will not solve the robot's compain, as it fails on gcc7. The
__diag_ignore_all for gcc is defined as

    #if GCC_VERSION >= 80000
    #define __diag_GCC_8(s)         __diag(s)
    #else
    #define __diag_GCC_8(s)
    #endif

    #define __diag_ignore_all(option, comment) \
            __diag_GCC(8, ignore, option)

so adding more __diag_ignore_all's will not do anything.  This is better to
patch __diag_ignore_all to include older gcc versions if anybody needs them.
