Do we need to backport this for a non-default build with a non-default
compiler?

Too much mixup in the code to be fixed overnight indeed.

Annoyingly it appears that clang has more false positives.

Example? I don't recall this one, so don't know if we should just not
fix it rather than suppress. I've used ignored-attributes, perhaps that
was for the same cause.

While we used per-file to restrict this one, I don't think we care that
much for precision with clang as well.
