This is a very hard problem in depth.
You will get totally different warning counts per PostgreSQL version,
compiler production, compiler version, probably also different
architectures, different operating systems. See
https://speakerdeck.com/petere/static-analysis-test-coverage-and-other-12-plus-letter-words slide 6
for example.
Add in the general randomness and cruftiness of buildfarm machines, it's
a complete crap shoot.
Plus you'd need parsers for the output of all the different compilers.
