"Annotate additional APIs with GCC attribute access.",
gcc emits this warning on s390x:

The function do_one_test is inlined into do_mb_tests on s390x (at least with
gcc 10). If do_one_test is marked with __attribute__ ((noinline)), there are
no warnings on s390x. If do_one_test is marked with
__attribute__ ((always_inline)), there are the same warnings on x86_64.
test->string points to a variable length array on stack of do_mb_tests
and the content is generated based on the passed test struct.
According to Martin Sebor, this is a false positive caused by the same bug as
the one in nss/makedb.c. It's fixed in GCC 11 and will also be available in
the next GCC 10.4 release.
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.
Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
