Can you try this change (on branch roland/dl-nns) with that compiler?
I suspect a compile-time constant preventing evaluation of the
expressions doing indexing will avoid the warning.  If it doesn't,
then the right thing to do is to put that inside #if DL_NNS > 1.

While I was there I noticed that it's not properly checking for wildly
bogus NSID values that would make that indexing bogus at runtime (in
the SHARED case), so I put that in too.


Thanks,
Roland

	* elf/dl-open.c (_dl_open): Use __glibc_unlikely in invalid namespace
	check.  Reject NSID < 0 and NSID >= dl_nns, and check for DL_NNS==1,
	before using NSID as an index.

This patch did fix the problem in dl-open.c but dl-close.c has the same
issue and would need the same fix.

Please show that error.

Weird, I assumed that the dl-close.c issue was the same as the dl-open.c
problem.  But it looks different.  After cutting it down with delta I
get the following small test case and error.  I do not see how GCC can
know that nsid is not 0.
