Being a new user of Debian 12/gcc 12.2.0, I wrote the following shell
script to conditionally add gmake rules with compiler flags to
src/Makefile.custom to suppress warnings for certain files. This allows
me to compile all supported Postgres releases without warnings.
I actually didn't how simple it was to add per-file compile flags until
I read:

# PG 14+ uses configure.ac
if [ ! -e configure.in ] || grep -q 'AC_INIT(\[PostgreSQL\], \[13\.' configure.in
then cat >> src/Makefile.custom <<END
