Can't we try to fix the warnings instead of turning them off? Or is it 
possible to only turn off these warnings on a specific function?

Modules/faulthandler.c emits a lot of such compiler warning, but there 
is nothing interesting to do on write() error. I tried to turn off the 
warning on an instruction using (void)write(...), but gcc doesn't 
understand that I don't care of write() result here.
