We typically use the DIAG_* macros from libc-diag.h, with appropriate 
comments justifying the use in a particular case.  Warnings may be ignored 
for the whole file (e.g. string/tester.c) or locally for particular code.  
Note that the GCC version number in DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT is for the 
most recent GCC version known to produce the warning (it's an indicator of 
which DIAG_* calls might be appropriate to review for whether they are 
still needed).  While if the warning in question isn't supported in GCC 6, 
appropriate __GNUC_PREREQ version conditionals are needed around the 
DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT call to avoid errors about an unknown option 
when building with older GCC.
