Option #4:
CFLAGS='-qhalt=e -qsuppress=1506-077'
Appears to work for me for xlc-8.0 and xlc-9.0.
That still looks dangerous to me: we don't know whatever warning
might be added in the future. I'd rather add -qhalt=e only for the
sched_setaffinity test.
I don't recommend adding -qsuppress automatically, just documenting it
for users that need xlc-8 or xlc-9.
If nothing else, this "work-around" is now in the hwloc-devel archives
for the search engines.
Sorry that I wasn't clear on what I meant to do with those CFLAGS.
Regarding "we don't know whatever warning might be added in the future.":
"1506-077" is the number for this particular warning about invalid
wchar_t constants.
So this suppresses ONLY the one message and should be pretty safe.
Based on looking at the constants, this message is being issued
ERRONEOUSLY by these compilers.
I do agree w/ Samuel that the BEST solution is to apply "-qhalt=e" ONLY
to the test(s) where one expects the compiler to through errors (rather
than warnings) for function calls with argument counts which don't match
the prototypes. At the moment, I am 90% certain that the "old
sched_setaffinity()" probe is the only one fitting that description.
