Right, I used GCC-8 because this is what is available off the
shelf in compiler-gcc.h (and I CC'd you on purpose because I
though you might have relevant comments).

-Wtype-limits was introduced in GCC 4.3. Need to check if this
specific check existed back then, but I strongly expect the older
version to also trigger the warning.  It might take me a bit of
time to set up an environment with an old GCC (nothing hard, just
need to get access to the good machine). So do not worry if I
stay silent on this subject for the next couple of days.

Yours sincerely,
