I've been tracking gcc-8, and I have a patch ready, but these things
change a bit with every compiler snapshot, so I'm waiting until things
settle down.

I would not like that. The build farm success should ideally be a
function of correct PostgreSQL code, not external factors. If an
in-progress compiler does funny things, what are we supposed to do about
that?
Generally, fixing up PostgreSQL for a new compiler release isn't a major
effort and can be done briefly before the release of the compiler.
