THIS should NEVER have been a security CVE in the first place.
This is not a security issue with any correct code that GCC will process.
GCC does not consider this a security issue according to its security policy.
See the "Security features implemented in GCC" section of
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob_plain;f=SECURITY.txt;hb=HEAD
for more information on that policy.
