I don't understand? The only reason these tests were using that flag was to cause a compilation error (instead of a warning) on GCC. If we properly require that we're able to check the diagnostics, which is the goal, we can stop trying to make them fail arbitrarily on GCC.

Basically, it's kind of as if we had said "for these tests (and these tests only), enable -`Werror=unused-typedef` on GCC cause we know that's going to make them fail. Instead, my point is that we can just disable them cause they're not doing much good.

I think we need to trust our `config.py` here. I agree it's complicated and I'm working on fixing it, but this change is actually one step exactly in that direction.

These tests already don't do much on GCC, they just confirm that `-Werror-unused-result` works properly.
