[PATCH] select.h: Make FD_{SET,CLR,ISSET} cast their fd argument to unsigned int

[PATCH] select.h: Make FD_{SET,CLR,ISSET} cast their fd argument to unsigned int

[Martin Galvan]

Currently, the FD_* macros assume their fd argument is always positive and
perform operations on it that will result in signed-to-unsigned conversions.
This will trigger gcc's -Wsign-conversion warning, which will break compilations
if -Werror is active.

This patch simply casts the fd to unsigned int. If the fd was indeed negative,
things will break as they would have before. If it was postive, the warning will
be squelched. No information should be lost on this cast either.

There may be a more elegant solution to this, though, but this seems to be good
enough IMHO.
