Bob, could you please try using "git bisect" to determine which change
eliminated the unwanted warning?
Basically, we know that master is good, but emacs-28 exhibits the bug.
So you have to run the following commands in the Emacs repository, with
git installed:
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad emacs-28
$ git bisect good master
Every time it asks you to try a different revision, run:
$ make extraclean
$ <however the tool builds emacs>
and then, after you test the resulting Emacs binary:
$ git bisect bad
if the build does not exhibit the bug, or:
$ git bisect good
if it does.
Hopefully, after repeating that procedure several times, the VCS will
tell you exactly which commit fixed the bug.
Thanks.
