No, it's not obvious; as far as I can tell, the option is not in GCC 4.9 
branch, so resulting in

tester.c: In function 'test_memset':
tester.c:1311:3: error: unknown option after '#pragma GCC diagnostic' kind [-Werror=pragmas]
   DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT (4.9, "-Wmemset-transposed-args")
   ^
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

and breaking the build.  Please revert the patch.  If distributions have 
backported this warning, a configure test will be needed to determine 
whether it can be suppressed.

That part of the change is also dubious - the version is the *most recent* 
version for which the diagnostic was observed, not the oldest, as it gives 
information about when the suppression should be reviewed.  (As explained 
in the comment on DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT, it should however say 5 not 
5.0.)
