Or even just __builtin_trap(), or abort(), or similar.  Just a printf()
thing if you really want to just warn.

"Never doing any optimisation" based on <anything> is of course not a
reasonable expectation; but you *can* ask for reachable code not to be
optimised away.  This is the default, just don't mark reachable code as
unreachable :-)
