Research direction

Start with the linked bpo-40952 record and reproduce the GCC build warnings for Python 3.9 or 3.10. The payload names no files or tests, so identify the affected build sources first; done means the format-overflow and stringop-overflow warnings are resolved without introducing new build failures.
