Then I would suggest that these specific warnings (-Wunused-parameter)
were to be disabled for C++ programs. The actual consumers should not
have to lower their WARNS, simply because the standard library is
broken.

The decrement operator is sufficient for this:

With the patch above, the binary shrinks to 15640 bytes, so my
concerns are somewhat addressed. :-)
