 The warning is not bogus, it just happens to depend on various things,
 starting with optimization level, but also the CPU you compile for.
 
 The man page says:
 
      On machines which have a byte order which is the same as the network
      order, these routines are defined as macros that expand to the value of
      their argument.
 
 so the behaviour is kinda expected.
 
 Gcc warnings vary a lot depending on what optimizer passes run - hunting
 that difference is like tilting windmills.
