Subject: [PATCH] tools/build: tweak unused value workaround

Clang has -Wself-assign enabled by default under -Wall, which always
gets -Werror'ed on this file, causing sync-compare-and-swap to be
disabled by default. The generally-accepted way to spell "this value is
intentionally unused," is casting it to `void`. This is accepted by both
GCC and Clang with -Wall enabled: https://godbolt.org/z/qqZ9r3
