Perhaps kernel code is a bit different, but with 4700 > warnings, I'd be little scared. I really doubt sizeof(void *) != sizeof(??? *) any time soon. Anyone here planning on porting to a platform with split I and D? Can you get 5M in a PDP8? The compiler is being unbearably anal for most of those 4694 warnings. The language didn't change to get those extra 2300 warnings, the compiler did.
