Probably not that compiler specific. Minimal example:

  #include <assert.h>
  void foo(void) {int x = 1; assert(x);}

No warnings with gcc -Wall -c, but warns with gcc -Wall -DNDEBUG -c.

We currently don't use -Wall in gmp or mini-gmp Makefiles. And I suspect
no nightly builds try -DNDEBUG (since main gmp code doesn't use plain
assert, it's not that an interesting configuration). To do things
specifically for mini-gmp, I guess one could tweak the check-mini-gmp
make target, or the arguments passed to it in nightly builds.
