Thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed it now.

My plan is to use a little shell snippet like the one below to figure what gcc
version that is being used, and then use as pedantic warnings options as
possible for that particular version. Haven't had time to do that yet
though...

 gccver=`$CC --version | head -1 | sed 's/[^0-9.]*//'`
 num1=`echo $gccver | cut -d . -f1`
 num2=`echo $gccver | cut -d . -f2`
 gccnum=`expr $num1 "*" 100 + $num2`
 echo $gccnum
