The workaround was added for the benefit of the CI and to prevent
failures because the buggy warning will otherwise make it fail because
of -Werror when Fedora 36 was released and our CI started using it.
Our CI doesn't need it anymore to avoid that issue.

I certainly didn't intend on penalizing any users, but I frankly
suspect there aren't any, as the bug was fixed long ago, and it
wouldn't affect them unless no gcc updates were ever done on their
systems.
