In this patch, I disable warnings for these individual buggy or badly written files, but I intend to post follow-up issues on the respective teams to have them properly fixed.

I can't seem to find the post now but there was one mentioning about needing information on what warnings -Wpedantic enables, and well... It's quite a lot: https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wpedantic

I also have Jonathan Wakely's confirmation that -pedantic and -Wpedantic aren't the same, but this may not be as relevant to the discussion at hand
