Please review this change to work around a false positive -Wdangling-pointer
warning from gcc13.1. The approach being taken is to suppress the warning,
with a comment describing why it's a false positive.
As with JDK-8307147 I tried various code modifications to avoid the warning,
but they were either obscure, or didn't seem reliably future-proof against
further changes in gcc's analysis.
Testing:
mach5 tier1-3 with gcc11.2 (current default in Oracle's CI)
Local (linux-x64) tier1 with gcc13.1, and verified the relevant warnings are
not reported during the build. This required disabling compiler warnings as
errors, as there are other new warnings from gcc13.1: JDK-8307210.
