Yes, of course it is. But the Gnulib code works on all practical platforms, so it's OK. Gnulib is a practical project not a theoretical one, and it uses undefined behavior in several ways other than this one. As long as the code works on real systems there's no real problem.

Most likely Paweł can configure his testing environment to suppress these false alarms. If not, I suggest firing off a bug report to the Clang developers, asking for an easy way to suppress them. In practice these particular diagnostics are more trouble than they're worth.
