Re: PATCH, libiberty: eliminate build warning


Oh, I did not realize the original warning.  May be it is better to do
something like:

#define writerr(s) \
  do \
    { \
      const char *p = (s); \
      if (write(STDERR_FILE_NO, p, strlen(p))) \
        {} \
    } while (0)

This should eliminate the unused result warning and is safe even if s
has side-effects or the macro is used before an "else".
