I'm also interested in whether someone can give steps to reproduce this
issue outside of the Travis environment. I've tested with gcc-7 on both
Ubuntu 16.04 (as used by Travis) and Ubuntu 18.04, and the builds I tested
all worked fine, without any warnings being seen. I am therefore wondering
what is special about the travis setup that causes it to fail.
