Hi Pádraig,
* lib/vma-iter.c (vma_iterate_bsd): Mark parameters unused

We had this several times already: As a maintainer of a package that
uses Gnulib, you should *not* be dictating which warnings are to occur
in *.c of Gnulib.

This use of _GL_UNUSED is silly, because vma_iterate_bsd is _meant_
to have different implementations (depending on platform), and it
is _normal_ in such situations that some implementations don't use the
arguments that other implementations use. I don't want to litter the
code with such annotations.
Why is the mechanism that I put in place to protect Gnulib from
warning-related demands not working?
This was just to get the default coreutils build working.
The mechanism you put in to protect gnulib is working mostly
but not it seems for gnulib-tests when building libtests.a
for use by bench-sha1 etc.
cheers,
Padraig
