As explained in [1]: We cannot guarantee no warning. If you find warnings
obtained with generally useful options, like -Wall, we listen to you. But
there are cases where the problem is not on gnulib's side. For example,
  - when you ask for exotic warnings, or
  - There was one version of GCC, which introduced the "comparison between
    signed and unsigned" warning, and it had no way of turning off this warning
    without also turning off other, useful, warnings. In later versions,
    the GCC developers realized that this warning is less useful than they
    thought.
