In cairo, what we do is have a huge list of desired warnings and then
test each one in turn with a test-compile in the configure script.
That's probably what we should do here, (I recently established a
Makefile.config for this purpose that should be generated by the
configure script.)

Thanks for the report. I think I saw a fix for this in a commit from
Chris Wilson that's in my queue. (Though from a quick glance I'm not
sure where the size_t type got started in the code and propagated
throught this part).

Yes. I knew I was "cheating" by using some GNU extensions here. I'm
happy to accept portability patches for these things, but it's hard for
me to get excited about writing them myself.

Care to take a whack at these?
