cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:2466: recipe for target 'gst/gstinfo.o' failed


I don't know why the warning only triggers in the testsuite, but not when
building GStreamer itself. It may be related to
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67030 - which seems to imply that
macro expansions shouldn't trigger this warning.
