Aside from unused arguments (a bogus warning IMO) and string plus int
(why is this a warning?), these sound like they could be issues to
address. I cleaned up all the pointer signedness warnings (which
should be errors, per the C language) with gcc, so I'm unsure why
they're showing up again. Implicit function declarations sound
particularly bad, but gcc didn't report any to me. The rest are
*probably* non-issues, but I'd like to check them if you could send
the warning output to the list.

Can you elaborate?

I'll be happy to look at it for you. :)
