Hey Andrew!

 AA> On Debian with gcc 8 I wasn't getting any warnings.

No surprise here.  Of all the different versions of gcc over the years gcc 4 was my favourite.  That was the last release I was able to stick with pure C.  Almost everything has gone downhill since.

 AA> Any suggestions?

Other than sticking with what you feel comfortable with, no.  It works here despite the warnings so you don't really have much to sweat.

 AA> Things are working fine right now so I'm reluctant to change the

 AA> warnings.

An excellent plan.

Right now I am wrestling with the rustc/firefox breakage and whether or not to continue on this latest so-called upgrade into extreme overbloating of something I never ever cared about (ie gui/web crap).

Kis these days eh?  :::sigh:::

Life is good,
Maurice
