check_global_declarations is called for more symbols now.  All the 
defined but not used errors I've seen in development have been 
legitimate.  For tests, the tests should be fixed.  For built-ins such 
as these, does the attached fix the problem?

It is up to the objc maintainers, we can either fix this with the 
attached patch, or setting DECL_IN_SYSTEM_HEADER.

/* Nonzero for a given ..._DECL node means that no warnings should be
    generated just because this node is unused.  */
#define DECL_IN_SYSTEM_HEADER(NODE) \
   (in_system_header_at (DECL_SOURCE_LOCATION (NODE)))

Let me know what you prefer.

The current patch is OK.

This seems a better long-term idea; however, I would prefer to go through all the cases where it would be applicable (including for the NeXT runtime) and apply that change as a coherent patch.  At the moment dealing with the NeXT stuff is a bit hampered by pr66448.

thanks,
Iain
