I've checked this on F32 now, and I still wasn't seeing the testsuite
warnings. I did see this, though, unrelated to (but certainly thematically
associated with) the overflow series:

fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function 'qnx4_readdir':

These are just side-effects of the actual warning going "missing".

The latter is complaining about not seeing the former... O_o

Oh... I found it:

>     error: call to ‘__read_overflow’ declared with attribute error:
                     ^               ^
vs:

      error: call to '__read_overflow' declared with attribute error:
                     ^               ^

Looks like it's LANG biting me! Ugh.

LANG=en.US.UTF-8 is '
LANG=C           is '
LANG=C.UTF-8     is `

Fedora uses C.UTF-8 by default, but my build tooling (and seemingly many
others) are using LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or LANG=C. Specifically, this appears
to be LC_NAME? Fixing now...
