Well, it fixed it for gcc versions < 10. With a mingw gcc version 13 or 14,
I still see a warning

 cc1: warning: command-line option '-Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant' is valid 
for C++/ObjC++ but not for C

This patch completes the fix.

        manywarnings: Fix for compilers that are named '$host-gcc', part 2.
        * m4/manywarnings.m4 (gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC(C)): Apply the fix for
        -Wuseless-cast and -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant also for GCC >= 10.
