In general, warnings about "ignoring return value" are harmeless. They simply say that the code at this point doesn't care about the return value of the called function, which may be intentional.

Hi,
I received these warnings during make:

gwlib/gwthread-pthread.c: In function ‘gwthread_wakeup’:
gwlib/gwthread-pthread.c:679: warning: ignoring return value of ‘write’,
declared with attribute warn_unused_result

gwlib/utils.c: In function ‘become_daemon’:
gwlib/utils.c:219: warning: ignoring return value of ‘dup’, declared
with attribute warn_unused_result
gwlib/utils.c:220: warning: ignoring return value of ‘dup’, declared
with attribute warn_unused_result
gwlib/utils.c:222: warning: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared

utils/start-stop-daemon.c: In function ‘main’:
utils/start-stop-daemon.c:918: warning: ignoring return value of
‘chdir’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

declared with attribute warn_unused_result
utils/start-stop-daemon.c:927: warning: ignoring return value of ‘dup’,

Is it normal?
