Answer

The GNU C compiler gcc has been changed over time to give more warnings when types do not match 100%. Most of these warnings are harmless - but as I bump into them I do fix them.

In the 1.11 I am working on most of these as well as many bugs are fixed.

You can download a much better almost version from the Subversion. Look at SubversionOpen2300.
