Agreed

ok

This patch suppresses these warnings with DIAG_* macros.
The conditional #if __GNUC_PREREQ (6, 0) is needed, because an older gcc 
would warn about:
tst-endian.c: In function ‘do_test’:
tst-endian.c:18:4: warning: unknown option after ‘#pragma GCC 
diagnostic’ kind [-Wpragmas]
     DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT (6, "-Wtautological-compare");
     ^

I've extended the patch in order to suppress those warnings on little
endian systems for "if (htoleXX (leXXtoh (i)) != i)", too.
Those macros are defined to (x) in string/endian.h for little endian 
systems and produce the same warning.

Ok to commit?

Bye Stefan

ChangeLog:

	* string/tst-endian.c: Include <libc-internal.h>
	(do_test): Ignore tautological-compare warnings around
	"htobeXX (beXXtoh (i)) != i" and
	"htoleXX (leXXtoh (i)) != i" if-statements.

you can at least do it once at the top via a local define:
/* big comment block */
#if __GNUC_PREREQ (6, 0)
# define DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT_AUTOLOGICAL_COMPARE() \
  DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT (6, "-Wtautological-compare");
#else
# define DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT_AUTOLOGICAL_COMPARE()
#endif

then the inline usage is simple
