Hmmm... This should probably be gated on CC_IS_CLANG? Or even better
CLANG_VERSION >= 120000 due to
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1252?

I still think that this warning will show up with clang at W=1. Given
that these are compiler inserted functions, the prototypes don't matter
but we could shut it up by just putting the prototypes right above the
functions like was done in commit 1e1b6d63d634 ("lib/string.c: implement
stpcpy").
