They are just that, warnings. Messages to tell the coders to try to clean things up, not errors really. As I heard it, gcc has been raising the amount that it warns about things. As of the 3.0-Release series, the FreeBSD kernel compile is much louder about them.

Read the hanbook section on kernel debugging, and get real friendly with the kernel source :-) You may have to fix up gcc in some cases.
