They do different things: -O2 produces more optimized (i.e. faster and
smaller) code, while strip (or -s switch to GCC) removes debug
information, which is very large, to allow convenient source-level
debugging.

You should solve each warning one by one.  Some of them might be real
errors, except that GCC could recover from them, so it doesn't flag
them as errors.

farptr.h functions are specific to DJGPP, so this program will not
compile with other compilers, or even with GCC on another OS.
