The correct way of writing warning tests with a line number is

{ dg-warning "warning" } (on original line, no number needed)
{ dg-warning "warning 2" "description" { target *-*-* } 8 } (for each 
other warning)

The description is needed and needs to be nonempty and distinct for the 
second and subsequent warnings on a given line, because it is used to form 
the distinct test assertion names which appear after PASS or FAIL in the 
.sum files - having multiple tests with the same name causes ambiguity for 
regression testers.

Listing the warnings separately like this is preferable to using a regular 
expression which matches both warnings because this way you detect if just 
one of the warnings disappears.
