Paid support is available until May 2030:

Our current minimum GCC compiler requirement is version 8.0:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/doc/guides/linux_gsg/sys_reqs.rst#n32
Which GCC version is required to support -Wshadow, and which GCC versions are included in relevant distros?
Maybe the -Wshadow can be added conditionally, depending on compiler version.
Shadow variables will not be caught locally, if using an old compiler version. But the CI will catch them in the tests running on recent compiler versions.
