Description:
MySQL should compile warning-free (ie., maintainer mode should work) also
with GCC 8.

According to our "supported platforms" document, MySQL 5.7 should be built with native gcc on several Linux distros. We expect Fedora to upgrade to GCC 8, and have GA release in May 2018

How to repeat:
Build MySQL 5.7 with GCC 8, *lots* of warnings.

Suggested fix:
Backport patches from MySQL trunk, but in a simplified form.
Trunk is C++11, MySQL 5.7 is C++03, so patches must be re-written.
