This fixes a recurring problem where patches that have only been tested on MS toolchains break the build on GCC because they use variables that are only written but never read.
However, there is a valid pattern where this may happen as well. For instance, Status = SomeFunc (&OutVar); ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status); if (Outvar == ... ) { ... } // Status never referenced again may never access Status again at all in RELEASE builds, since the ASSERT_EFI_ERROR () macro evaluates to nothing in that case. So let's allow this pattern, by passing the appropriate GCC command line option.
