Yup.  (Although I don't expect any, considering that Clang already has
never had any diagnostics for this, IIRC.)

I suggest that GCC removes the constraint from pre-C2y versions.  We
could move it to -Wpedantic, since the diagnostic is only to comply with
the standard, but doesn't bring much value.

But yeah, this probably needs to be a macro, at least for a long time.
