We still don't have it in tools/include/linux, but yeah, its a good idea
to have the equivalent of include/linux/compiler-gcc.h.

Then, at some point, the kernel can grab the definition from tools, i.e.
when people start trying to build the kernel _and_ this specific warning
is enabled there, as it is in tools/.
