I'm pretty sure I've seen warnings for this with 5.2.0, but I'll put
this in my tree to check. Irrespective I think it should have the #ifdef
protection because I'm very certain that the warning is there with some
versions of GCC that people might still be using. And I don't much like
conditional compilation either, but anything producing a warning will
cause someone to write a patch to fix it, so I just want to be proactive
in avoiding that kind of churn.

Your patch does touch that part by removing the dependency on OF. That
makes it possible to build this code with !OF, which in turn would make
the OF match table unused.
