Re: [PATCH v3 0/3] support pedantic in developer mode

This series enables pedantic mode for building when DEVELOPER=1 is

The second patch is really an independent prerequisite to ensure
that it doesn't break the build for Windows and is the minimal change
possible.

Additional changes needed for the git-for-windows/git fork main to be
posted independently.

It merges and builds successfully all the way to "seen" IF the known
problem reported earlier[1] and expected as part of a reroll of 
jh/builtin-fsmonitor is merged first.

This whole series looks good to me, thanks for picking up my patch as
the 1/3. The only comment I have on it (doesn't need a re-roll) is that
I found the first paragraph in 2/3 slightly confusing, i.e.:
    
    In preparation to building with pedantic mode enabled, change a couple
    of places where the current mingw gcc compiler provided with the SDK
    reports issues.

With "the SDK" we're talking about the Win32 SDK, which is implicit from
the subject line. I'd find something like this less confusing:

    In preparation for building with DEVOPTS=pedantic enabled
    everywhere, change a couple of places where we'd get Win32 breakes
    under the GCC version provided wit hthe current MinGW version.

Or something. I'm not sure if this /only/ impacts Win32, or just that
compiler version. Some of the diffstat is win32-only, but nod nedmalloc,
but I see there's some parallel discussion about whether that's in
effect win32-specific.

Anyway, that's all a tiny nit. In general I like the change. I also
checked that an existing DEVOPTS=pedantic wouldn't accidentally enable
DEVOPTS=no-pedantic (i.e. that it wasn't a glob), but it doesn't, since
that's not how $(filter) works.
