Easy, then: either you live with this warning, or you don't
enable -Wsuggest-attribute=const.

Just silencing such a warning is no justification for this kind of
hideous code.

Using -Wsuggest-attribute=const every once in a while to see what could
be improved is probably a good idea, but we shouldn't blindly follow its
suggestions.
