 Maybe put the compiler errors and warnings in a log and use a script to grep out the not previously identified worthless ones?  Some warnings can be stifled to make cleaner code!

That clause is still there, and so the code is valid C code. However, 
GCC warns about it anyway. We've changed grep (in savannah master) so 
that GCC no longer warns.
