Yes, it confuses people and makes them think the library contains bugs,
which is certainly not the case. No seriously, I don't like those floods
of warnings either. Correcting these source files will probably be asked
too much (I've already had a look at them, and I don't volunteer }:-] ),
so compiling these particular files with a less pickier gcc (or would
-tradional work) would be the right thing to do IMHO. How easily is this
done, compiling partical files with different switches than the default
(i.e. in gcc.opt)
