I see that I've caused several Thunderbird breakages with the changes I've been making. I apologize for not giving you advance warning about this. I have several desires here. - I want to greatly increase the use of MOZ_MUST_USE/[must_use] in Gecko. - I don't want to make Thunderbird developers' lives more difficult. - I don't want to have to modify comm-central when I add new uses of MOZ_MUST_USE/[must_use] to mozilla-central. The best solution I can see is to insert -Wno-unused-result or -Wno-error=unused-result in the appropriate place(s) in comm-central.
