Makes sense. I didn't remember the syntax for 2) and couldn't find
it in the man page when I first looked. This seems like a good solution
here.
I'm pretty sure I tried 3) a few times when the warning first showed
up last year, but couldn't get that to work. Filing a gcc bug also seems
like a good idea, but I should first see if it's already fixed. The version
I use for testing at the moment is from late April, and others may
have complained about that already.
