Hi Reuben,
When I reread your email I see my mistake. You can not avoid the  
warning altogether, somewhere there has to be code that will warn,  
FreeBSD chose to move that bit of code into libc, you could similarly  
choose to move the warning code to one file and turn off the strict  
compilation for that file.

Sorry for misleading.

Peter
