Here is a cutdown test case, but I am not sure exactly what
DT_EXTRATAGIDX is trying to accomplish so I can't explain why GCC should
(or should not) give a warning here.  If you define MODIFIED you get
the code with my new definition of DT_EXTRATAGIDX and fewer warnings
but the if statement still gives a warning in either case.
