Details:

The following compiler warnings are issued by clang 6.0 on Debian when
building the current 4.3.90 stable branch head (f9fe8cf64e09).

Three of these warnings occur in declarations in public header files that are
part of the Octave API, so they must not be fixed on stable after 4.4 is
released.

* -Wunused-function


../libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc:1722:1: warning: unused function 'abs'
[-Wunused-function]
SPECIALIZE_UABS(long long)
^
../libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc:1713:3: note: expanded from macro
'SPECIALIZE_UABS'
  abs (unsigned T x)                            \
  ^


* -Wunused-lambda-capture


In file included from ../liboctave/array/MArray-s.cc:43:
../liboctave/array/MDiagArray2.h:97:28: warning: lambda capture 'zero' is not
required to be captured for this use [-Wunused-lambda-capture]
                          [zero] (T elem) { return elem != zero; });
                           ^
../liboctave/array/MArray-s.cc:46:27: note: in instantiation of member
function 'MDiagArray2<short>::nnz' requested here
template class OCTAVE_API MDiagArray2<short>;
                          ^


* -Wunused-parameter


In file included from ../libinterp/octave-value/ov-base.cc:59:
../libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.h:61:37: warning: unused parameter 'c'
[-Wunused-parameter]
make_format (const std::complex<T>& c)
                                    ^


* -Wunused-private-field


In file included from ../libinterp/octave.cc:44:
../libinterp/octave.h:136:10: warning: private field 'm_force_gui' is not used
[-Wunused-private-field]
    bool m_force_gui = false;
         ^


There are more warnings from the use of the '-pthread' option when linking,
but this is more of a build-system detail that we probably don't want to try
to intervene into.

Other than these warnings, no build problems and Octave passes most tests.
