Description:
------------
Newer gcc catches memory issues during compile time and raise warnings. Since 7.4, -Werror compile flag that makes warning to error, PHP cannot be compiled. Therefore, Fedora 34 cannot compile PHP from 7.4 to master.

$ uname -a
Linux dev 5.12.13-300.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 23 16:18:11 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 11.1.1 20210531 (Red Hat 11.1.1-3)



There are number of issues catched by gcc. Followings are examples.

hash_gost has wrong prototype or wrong definition for 1st param. Clearly a bug.

It seems this strncpy does not consider null char.

This may be false-positive, but out of bound access possibly. It doesn't compile with -Werror anyway.

Well, it might hint at a bug, but isn't a bug per se, since array
parameters are degraded to pointers anway.  This has been fixed a
while ago in master[1], since apparently there is no actual bug.

Certainly not clean (should probably be a memcpy()), but doesn't
look like a real bug.

> This may be false-positive, but out of bound access possibly.

That would be something Dmitry should have a look at.

Compile errors are examples. I didn't try to find all of them and there may be real memory issues. It would be nice to use newer gcc for CI if it is possible.

The array bounds warning in JIT is definitely a false positive.

I won't like to fix this in any way, because the warnings occurs in DynAsm header, borrowed from LuaJIT project.
