Doesn't mean it has no bugs.  It is in fact *telling you* it has a bug.

If they can convince the C standards committee, then I'll worry about
their opinion.  Functions returning void are not required to have return
statements per the standard.

Moreover, I'm pretty sure this is not the only function in PG with an
empty body.  I think the fact that the compiler is crashing right there
is likely not related to the empty function as such, but has a lot to do
with what else it has processed in the same compilation.
