I think it might an x86_64 vs arm64 thing.

cd ~/build/postgres/dev-assert/vpath/src/common

$ cat protocol_openssl.s
.section __TEXT,__text,regular,pure_instructions
.build_version macos, 12, 0 sdk_version 12, 3
.subsections_via_symbols

$ as -arch arm64 protocol_openssl.s -o protocol_openssl-arm64.o
$ as -arch x86_64 protocol_openssl.s -o protocol_openssl-x86_64.o

$ llvm-objdump -t protocol_openssl-x86_64.o

protocol_openssl-x86_64.o: file format mach-o 64-bit x86-64

SYMBOL TABLE:

$ llvm-objdump -t protocol_openssl-arm64.o

protocol_openssl-arm64.o: file format mach-o arm64

SYMBOL TABLE:
0000000000000000 l F __TEXT,__text ltmp0

For some reason arm64 ends up with that ltmp0 symbol, which presumably
prevents the warning from being triggered.
