find_bad_casts() reports a cast between two randomized structure pointer types with inform(), which renders as a "note:". It has done so since the plugin was originally added, while using error() freely for attribute misuse, UAPI structs, and version mismatches. Clang's implementation of the same check has always been stricter: it rejects such a cast as a full error. There is no reason for the GCC side to be effectively silent about the same problem. Build tested ARCH=x86_64 with CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL=y and GCC 14.2.0: allmodconfig clean, and defconfig clean under three different random seeds. A deliberate bad cast is still reported, now as a warning, at the correct line and column.
