Well if you compile as C++ you end up needling lots of unnecessary casts. You should really compile with one of the "debug-foo" names for you platform e.g. debug-steve64. If it works without any warnings on that it's a good sign, though some of the more esoteric platforms can still complain. The $gcc_devteam_warn options should be used as a minimum.
