I really don't understand why gcc is generating warnings for these; I
thought it automatically suppressed warnings for system include
directories, and even macro expansion text generated from macros
defined in these headers. If that suppression is not working
correctly, maybe we should work around these warnings. I agree it's
problematic for users to get spammed with irrelevant warnings that
decrease the signal to noise ratio of the compiler's warning
generation.
