In fact, if you look at the function it is warning about it has the following
structure:

    static tick_type to_tick_count(...)
    {
      if(...)
      {
        return /...;
      }
      else{
        return /...
     }
    }

That's clearly a compiler bug that should be reported to the gcc folks.
