Ah, I had not realized this is clang specific. Adding the !COMPILE_TEST
dependency would hide it for me, which may be good enough for me.

I've reverted that patch locally now and default-enabled for randconfigs.
Now that I have an otherwise clean build, this should provide me
with a full set of files that produce the warning. If the number is
