As Taylor noticed, we can still help macOS users by first dealing with the false positive in the code, and then flip the warning option for developers on.

 [1/3] run-command: use errno to check for sigfillset() error
 This was our first "workaround" that is very specific to the code
 that gets falsely flagged by the compiler.
 [2/3] git-compat-util: add NOT_CONSTANT macro and use it in atfork_prepare()
 This adds a more generic way to work around a false positive from
 -Wunreachable-code to prevent compilers from optimize away
 expressions that are used in conditionals, and rewrite the earlier
 workaround with it.
 [3/3] config.mak.dev: enable -Wunreachable-code
 Now we worked around known false positive of -Wunreachable-code,
 we force it upon our developers, including macOS ones.

This is totally offtopic, but I often find the short-log (list of commits, grouped by author) in the cover letter very awkward to work with. Between v2 and v3, aside from the NOT_CONSTANT() improvements in the patch [2/3] that used to be [3/3], one large change is the reordering of the patches but that is not seen in the shortlog (I ran "git log --oneline -reverse" to prepare the list of commits in the order they are applied to describe them in the above list).
