Heads up: next-20190115 and GCC 9.0 don't play nice.

Heads up: next-20190115 and GCC 9.0 don't play nice.

So a GCC 9 escaped to Fedora Rawhide in the last few days, and things didn't
go well. Fortunately, I had the 8.2.1-7 RPMs still around.

Issue 1: There's a new warning added for taking the address of a member of
a packed array. It wasn't *too* noisy.

Issue 2: Looks like it's not ready for prime time.

  CC [M]  fs/ntfs/super.o

Jakub Jelinek informed me that gcc-9.0.1-0.1.fc30.x86_64 was out, and
I've confirmed that *this* issue is fixed.  Off to go see what breaks next. :)
