My GCC? What a strange turn of expression. I'm pretty sure the warning
will also happen with your gcc.

Nope, 2.95.3 and 3.3.5 are fine. And as Andreas Schwab there's a GCC
bug report for this problem. Alas, this is not an ideal world where
compiler warnings involve no false positives.

This will probably be fixed eventually, either on the GCC side, or by
adding a workaround to BFD. Meanwhile I want us to take notice that
the fact that vax and m68k are in pretty good shape and that listing
them as broken in MAINTAINERS is no indication that there is something
wrong with those targets themselves.
