GCC 6 added the '-Wunused-const-variable' warning, which gets activated by '-Wunused-variable' and has the following behavior: "Warn whenever a constant static variable is unused aside from its declaration" [1] Commit 2ad6ba80a1bd58382bde6b994070f7c01d2fb48d introduced a case where exactly this happens on a RELEASE build. All uses of the static const variable are located in debug code only, which gets thrown out by the compiler on RELEASE builds and thus triggers the unused-const-variable warning. There is currently no GCC 6 toolchain target defined and doing so would add a lot of boilerplate code. Instead, use the fact that GCC ignores unkown '-Wno-*' options: "[...] if the -Wno- form is used [...] no diagnostic is produced for -Wno-unknown-warning unless other diagnostics are being produced" This behavior is available in GCC 5 [2] (and also earlier, for that matter), so add the flag to the GCC5 toolchain, even if GCC 5 itself does not supports it. Orient the changes on 20d00edf21d2 which moved the '-Wno-unused-but-set-variable' flag to RELEASE builds only, as there it ensure that it does not gets raised if the only usage of a variable is in (then collapsed) debug code.
