Currently bootstrap stages 2 and 3 use the same warning options, but that is
redundant: if any warnings are generated, they will be present in stage 2 (and
stop bootstrap).  By not enabling any warnings for stage 3, we would get
simple automated checking that warnings do not affect code generation.

I've checked GCC 5 managed to bootstrap in this manner, but starting from
GCC 6 we've gotten less lucky.  There's a bunch of options already confirmed
to affect code generation:

-Wnonnull/-Wrestrict/-Wformat/-Wsuggest-attribute=format (PR 86567)
-Wimplicit-fallthrough (PR 86575)
-Wsign-compare (PR 86586)

Individual bugs are linked from PR 86518.

The list is likely incomplete as usage of maybe_constant_value conditional on
some warning being enabled is a common source of divergence in the C++ frontend
(maybe_constant_value keeps a cache, so with warnings trees in the cache
may get lower uids than they otherwise would).

I imagine a possible solution to that would be making maybe_constant_value
not pollute its cache under warning context, but no idea how naive that is.

In the hope of refreshing the discussion I'm pasting a patch that implements
configure code to add the bootstrap check. In my testing only -Wsign-compare
makes bootstrap diverge.


	* Makefile.tpl (STAGE3_CONFIGURE_FLAGS): Pass --disable-build-warnings.
	* gcc/configure.ac (--disable-build-warnings): New option.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
	* gcc/configure: Regenerate.

Note that for any version of this patch actually proposed for inclusion 
(as opposed to an RFC) you'll need to include documentation in 
install.texi for the new configure option.

At least some of these are likely mine...  The range analyzer is
reflecting ranges it discovers back into the global state.  THe fix
ought to be easy, but I haven't gotten to it yet.
