Does anyone know if it's possible to get gcc -Wunused (and hence -Wall) to not
warn about static what_id strings that aren't referenced anywhere, without
resorting to not using -Wunused?. For example:

try.c:
static char	what_id[] = "@(#) Id$";

% gcc -c -Wall try.c
try.c:1: warning: `what_id' defined but not used

Ideally I'd like to use -Wall -Werror (warnings are evil! :-), but this
spurious one makes that impossible. Any ideas?.

thanks,
	Graham
