Ah! That's good to know. I was starting to wonder what I was doing
wrong. :)
For now, I've added -fno-strict-aliasing to CFLAGS for the bsd_tcpip
package. That fixes the "type-punned pointer" warnings (which _might_
indicate real problems). The rest of warnings look pretty harmless,
but I'm working on fixing them. I've fixed a few "variable set-but-not
used" warnings, but there are a lot more to go. Once I have things
cleaned up a bit, I'll work on submitting patches.
