    gcc-10: disable 'zero-length-bounds' warning for now · 5c45de21

    This is a fine warning, but we still have a number of zero-length arrays
    in the kernel that come from the traditional gcc extension.  Yes, they
    are getting converted to flexible arrays, but in the meantime the gcc-10
    warning about zero-length bounds is very verbose, and is hiding other
    issues.
    
    I missed one actual build failure because it was hidden among hundreds
    of lines of warning.  Thankfully I caught it on the second go before
    pushing things out, but it convinced me that I really need to disable
    the new warnings for now.
    
    We'll hopefully be all done with our conversion to flexible arrays in
    the not too distant future, and we can then re-enable this warning.
