Uh, uh.  This does not bode well.  Probably your compiler is too dated.
There have been plenty of #ifdefs in CLN's sources to work around DEC CC's
idiosyncracies, but I haven't maintained them during the last few years.
I was actually planning to remove the remaining ones.

I assume these are mere warnings.  Never mind.  Silly compiler.
