Yes, we get the same warnings.  I think these are a symptom of a problem
with the C compiler on IRIX 6.2 being a little too strict, but they
don't seem to cause any problems.  The C statements that cause the
warnings are generated by the IRIX lex tool, so if their compiler issues
warnings about them, they should either fix lex or the compiler.
