I know for GCC but you said you were using xlc, right?  :-)

When compiling with GCC, you'd have to run `configure' with
`--disable-error-on-warning' to avoid this problem---I'm wondering
whether we should make it the default.

Ah, so setting it fixed some problem?

BTW, hopefully some of your problems are addressed by the newly-released
1.8.4.  We'll look into the others (e.g., `strftime') for the next
release.

Thanks for your report!

Ludovic.
