Giving a link error on perfectly valid code like
if (halting_problem_solvable ())
{
char buf[5];
return strdup (inttostr (n, buf)); /* expect warning here */
}
would be considered as a bug if it were done by a compiler. So I would
consider it a bug as well if the link error was caused by gnulib macros.
A link warning would be fine, however, through build-aux/link-warning.h
for example. But this would be additional complexity, just to accommodate
a generation of compilers that is about 3 years old, and thus already being
superseded in many distributions.
