Feature #9978
env: set gcc 7 as shadow compiler and do not run lint
100%
Description
Since we do have illumos patched gcc 7, and we did clean up our source for gcc6 & gcc 7, and we would very much like to kill the lint, lets start by setting gcc7 as shadow compiler and remove -l from nightly flags.
This means we would not provide default lint build and we do ensure we maintain clean gcc 7 build till the primary compiler switch.

As part of making this change, we'll need to update some of our guidance and documentation:
- https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/How+To+Build+illumos - describes a requirement to install Studio to get
lint, which won't be true with this change
Presumably this is intended to reflect a project level policy change; i.e., that we won't require lint-clean builds any longer. If we move ahead with that, we'll want to update some of the RTI documentation; e.g.,
- https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/RTI+Advocacy - mentions checking that
lintwas run inmail_msg - https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/How+To+Contribute - suggests that
lintmust be run in the submittedmail_msg
Finally, if we are changing the policy here, what happened with the investigation into smatch to replace lint for the handful of checks we do still care about? As I recall, the most prominent check we want to retain through other means is:
- ignoring a return value without an explicit
(void)cast
The smatch thread on the developer list is here: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/developer/T9a62d9da8534acdd-M0b91003b8e5da7cff718cd45
