(to be clear, this is just an issue when building with gcc; clang compiles the file successfully, but often runs into other issues. I'm adding the "help wanted" tag not because I think there's anything further to be done here, but just to draw greater attention to it in the hopes that Apple hurries up on their end)

This error now gets drowned out by other warnings, because neither I nor anyone else has fixed gcc bug 108310 yet: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108310
