Proposed patch
Comment 2 Christian Kirbach 2006-06-04 13:49:33 UTC 
patch still applies and fixes the warnings
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-06-09 22:00:59 UTC 
Note that these kind of patches just hide the warning, they don't actually fix the problem.
Comment 4 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-06-09 22:01:39 UTC 
The proper fix is something like what's in bug 335853
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2013-02-11 05:16:41 UTC 
closing old bugs, no need to keep bugs about compiler warnings open for decades
