I compiled gdb with gcc-1.37 and -Wall.
I have never seen such a mass of warnings.

Could`nt you guys at least try to make the code gcc complaints free.

Sincerely,

I have been praying for that to happen to *all* of the GNU software for
quite a long time.  Nobody seems to care.

Try compiling protoize with -Wall.  You should get zero warnings/errors.
That's even with the code fully function-prototyped!!

I consider -Wall one indicator of code quality.  Others apparently disagree.
