I don't know of an easy way.  I experimented with doing this:

diff --git a/src/include/c.h b/src/include/c.h
index a14c6315162..467b1f58ae8 100644
--- a/src/include/c.h

 #elif defined(_MSC_VER) && !defined(USE_ASSERT_CHECKING)
 #define pg_unreachable() __assume(0)
 #else
-#define pg_unreachable() abort()
+#define pg_unreachable() ((void) 0)
 #endif
 
 /*

which seems like it ought to be enough to provoke such warnings
(in assert-enabled builds).  I got upwards of sixty build warnings
this way, but the place David mentions was *not* among them.
So I'm confused.
