Observe that already Gnulib is responsible for too many warnings. Running clang-3.4 on FreeBSD with '-Wall -Werror' aborts in 'lib/', as does gcc-4.3.3 on OpenIndiana with '-Wall -Wextra -Werror', whereas dropping '-Wextra' lets gcc-4.3.3 enter into proper Inetutils' source before aborting. I remember complaining about this with bug-gnulib, at the time I was beginning to engage for Inetutils, but got answers that it be of no priority whatsoever. Therefor I stopped bothering about it. Best regards for now, M E Andersson
