But it's an obvious infinite loop... all of my toolchains (4.2, 4.5,
4.6, 4.8) are able to compile this without complaining (gcc -Wall):

int test() { do { } while (1); }

Not sure if 4.7 is unique.

But hey, others are doing this, so why not join the crowd. e.g.:

include/asm-generic/pgtable.h-567-#ifndef __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h-568-static inline int pmd_write(pmd_t pmd)
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h-569-{
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h:570: BUG();
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h-571- return 0;
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h-572-}
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h-573-#endif /* __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE */
