Re: [Bug-apl] Fwd: Re: Bogus compiler warnings

[Alexey Veretennikov]

Hi,

As I see the patch was not really accepted, rather Juergen has redone
the job and introduced more clean option for those like me who would
like still to build GNU APL with old buggy compiler and do not fight
with meaningless warnings.
By default all warnings are errors anyway so those with newer compilers
nothing to worry about.

It is only for us poor souls with au older compiler on older devices,
we have an option now, instead of fighting with bogus compiler warnings
(I've spent 2 evenings on them, more than enough).
