Problem compiling 2.17 with GCC 4.1.1

Problem compiling 2.17 with GCC 4.1.1

[George R. Kasica]

Hopefully someone can help here, I'm seeing the following error when
trying to make bunutils 2.17 using GCC 4.1.1 here:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.

Hopefully that is enough info to be useful. Ifyou need more please ask
and I'll try to supply it. I'm not a programmer so please be specific
on what you require here.

Thnk you very much,

Those are just harmless (?) warnings but because -Werror was supplied to
gcc they are turned into errors.  You should run configure with
--disable-werror and everything should be fine.

Ideally, the point of having -Werror turned on by default is to keep the
build clean, i.e. make sure that any warnings are addressed instead of
ignored, but it seems like you must have stumbled upon a combination of
platform and compiler that slipped through the cracks of testing.

Thanks Brian, that did it and all seems well.
