FWIW, I've been using GCC for decades, and I've never reported a bug, but I
came here with the intent of reporting the existence of this warning as a bug.
I have a beautifully working library that compiles without warnings on Linux.
When I move the same code over to Win32, change the name of the library to
".dll", it also compiles perfectly...except for this warning.
The Unix command philosophy is "shut up and do your job". I tell GCC to give me
position-independent code, and it does so. But it doesn't shut up. For some
reason, it wants to tell me "Hey, I was going to do that anyway", which serves
absolutely no purpose other than to complicate my Makefile, which I now have to
change to avoid that warning, hopefully not affecting it for those platforms
that don't issue the warning.
