Thanks for reporting.  I guess nobody without setitimer bothered to
test, since 15b52a44 (compat-util: type-check parameters of no-op
replacement functions, 2020-08-06) which was a tad before 2.29 was
tagged.

Alternatively we could pretend that the call always succeeds by
without touching errno and returning 0.  That might be safer, but I
dunno which one we want, and I do not have a system affected by the
choice.

This is a GNU extension biting us, perhaps?

Apparently these came from 4fa1d501 (strmap: add functions
facilitating use as a string->int map, 2020-11-05).

I think we should just drop "return"; a void function should be
called in void context without requiring a value, even if that
return expects no value.

Thanks.
