gcc 12.1.0 warning

Hi,

Not sure if these compiler-mutterings are worth reporting but I guess 
we're trying to get a silent compile.

System: Debian 4.9.303-1 (2022-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Compiling with gcc 12.1.0 causes the below 'warning' and 'note'.
Compiling with --enable-cassert --enable-debug  is silent, no warnings)

In function ‘guc_var_compare’,
     inlined from ‘bsearch’ at 
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/stdlib-bsearch.h:33:23,
     inlined from ‘find_option’ at guc.c:5649:35:
guc.c:5736:38: warning: array subscript ‘const struct config_generic[0]’ 
is partly outside array bounds of ‘const char[8]’ [-Warray-bounds]
  5736 |         return guc_name_compare(confa->name, confb->name);
       |                                 ~~~~~^~~~~~

guc.c: In function ‘find_option’:
guc.c:5636:25: note: object ‘name’ of size 8
  5636 | find_option(const char *name, bool create_placeholders, bool 
skip_errors,
       |             ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~

(Compiling with gcc 6.3.0 does not complain.)

Below are the two configure lines, FWIW.
