Yes.  Unfortunately they don't work here, even with _Pragma.

Unfortunately no.

I think that's because in other places we simply do a (void) fwrite (...),
which pacifies 'clang'.  But here we can't do that, since the replacement
fwrite must return a value.  None of the obvious workarounds worked for me.

But I did think of a workaround that wasn't obvious (at least, not to me),
and installed it.  I'll follow up with a message
"[PATCH 1/4] stdio: use __REDIRECT for fwrite, fwrite_unlocked"
about that.  Three other clang-related patches will follow.
